Fire, Police, Veterans Massage Special

$55/hr massages Mondays and Wednesdays for vets, police and fire.  YES, that is a crazy price better than any coupons...and here's another one:  Bring your main squeeze at the same time and get 2 massages for $105!  WHY?  Because I believe that those of us who serve and served deserve additional consideration - plain and simple.  It's biased and probably not politically correct but it's honest.  If you serve or served in harms way for the interests of others then it matters. Bring your badge, your ID, your challenge coin, your dd214, or show off that tat you got when you arrived at your first duty station, mention this post - you and yours will get a better deal and service than you could ever hope to get anywhere else in the city.  
  I find it a little funny every time I go to a sporting event and they parade the vets out to wave at the crowd then they all forget them because the game is on...it’s a little like that scene from Captain America where he is paraded around to sell bonds and be political.  
  Similar thoughts apply to our firefighters that do long shifts ready to spring into action or police that put up with every possible domestic scenario and are expected not to have a chip on their shoulder.
  Then there is the significant other at home that stays up waiting, hoping for safety, wondering.  (My mom (the Ombudsman) was this person and I sat up with her countless nights while she kept a stiff upper lip).
  So folks, rather than have some half hearted show of appreciation this is a standing offer for my brothers and sisters that served, and continue to serve others.
