Needless to say the son of the owner was fighting in Iraq, and the father was a two-tour Vet of Vietnam. He did not mess with the car in any way, he just simply stated he was not going to service the car. I heard through the grapevine he went to 2-3 other towns and everyone refused to service the car.
Well, that was a bit more respectful by telling the person up front. But I suspect that they don't know there are more ways than one to serve their country.
