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.

Do you guys even bother to follow a thread or make any effort to evaluate the noises of a carnival barker?

Mostly True
About this rating
What's True
A sign reading "no longer serving military personnel & their guest(s)" was briefly displayed at one DoubleTree Hotel in Colorado Springs.

What's False
This sign was displayed at a single DoubleTree Hotel only, did not reflect an official policy of the DoubleTree chain, and has since been removed.

RV Loc: Chicago

I have started the process of my friends passing this along to all their friends. Perhaps we may change the Hilton Doubletree's policy.

As a Vietnam Vet, we were treated like &^&^ when we came home. Now it is fashionable to honor vet's, as it should be, but in reality, I personally people just do it to look like they really care and it is PC correct! Sorry, I don't buy it!

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.

You got it

AS stated above this is a hoax and the people involved have been dealt with by Hilton management. This is an old story that really is not a story. It has made rounds on FB and been explained there.

No. This is what can happen when you allow people to use their religious convictions to refuse service to certain groups.

Apparently you did not read the thread. This was a nothing burger that was explained thoroughly.

You really should read the entire thread before commenting. You have passed something that is not really true.

The picture, without context, is Fake News.

Anyone seeing this and thinking it is real should not be allowed to vote. This is so obviously phony it pains me to believe it was posted. Notice the type is square next to the top and bottom of the photo. If it was real the type would be keystoning the same as the photo. Also notice the crispness of the type in comparison to the actual photo. This is a poor photoshop job by some ingrate that has a beef with the hotel. I also feel badly for and toward the person that would post this if it’s not the jerk that made the original image.

I was a crewman on PCF-48, a Swiftboat, also out of Sadec.

On spot.

Edit: I think fake stuff (unless for fun) is disgusting.
