I'm not a veteran, but I give that joint 3 thumbs down also. WTF

Not so fast. I'm inclined to think this is a hoax. Note the alignment of the lettering with the frame, especially with the inner somewhat gray frame. The lettering should be parallel to the horizontal lines of that frame. It isn't.

No guess about it . Will pass this photo on to all my friends and to our chapter of Vietnam Vets of America. We can't let what happened to us happen to anyone else in the service.
btw, I was in the 52nd Riverine, skippered a riverboat out of SaDec

Hilton has apologized all over itself and the manager of the restaurant was terminated. This story is about 2 weeks old.

Old news. Punishment was issued to the offending party.

Yes an old story.
It was at an event for vets and military and the service was closing down at the end of the event. The sign was a quick computer print and post with very unfortunate wording & format.

Geez, get a grip and stop being a victicrat.

And if you wonder - Regular Army in Vietnam Dec 66-Jan 69

Something is not right. It would be illegal to discriminate like that!

Kind of stupid to throw something out there with no explanation.

Poorly worded sign but it does illustrate how easy it is to jump to conclusions and vilify someone or a business without getting all of the story. That's an unfortunate side effect of the internet age....making irrational outrage the norm.

I have sent this to all my email list. And think I will past it several places, including my VFW post. The Hilton really need this add in the public.
