Times are tough. A lot of people can't pay their bills. But if you have a pet that you love, and that pet gets sick or injured, you take it to the Veterinarian and promise your life to pay if they will just save that pet you love. I own that veterinary hospital and we probably have about 50 accounts in excess of $300 that are several months behind. Some are over $1,000.
I have accounts where I feel I was just cheated by someone that wanted something for nothing and have no intention of paying. Some other people come in every few weeks or months and give me $5 or $10 or whatever they can. It is heartbreaking to take their money. But it would also be heartbreaking for me to go out of business.
Some of these people are veterans. I have decided to forgive the entire invoice for any veterans that owe me money. But how can I determine who they are? If I have a SS number or Driver's license, can I look up their military status? I plan to let them know in a Christmas Card. If I just ask them they will all be veterans. And a fire will have destroyed all their papers.
