Living well into old age is not something that is appreciated by many Americans. Old people cause people behind them to have to slow down, whether in the grocery lane or in the highway lane. Many Americans do not want to slow down!
Nevertheless, some old men have found a way to hold their heads high. They wear on their heads a cap that tells what branch of the military they served in. I see more and more of these caps, and they are not worn just for special occasions; they are worn every time the old man goes anywhere.
Most old women, though, have not figured out a way to be similarly honored. After all, all they did was raise a family!
Please don't be one of those Americans who huff and puff when they get behind an old man or woman. Do something that shows you honor them! Believe it or not, slowing down is good for you!
