On 7-23-12 an off duty Paramedic and Air Force reservist walked to the counter at the Chevron station with his purchase. When he pulled out his wallet his military id was exposed to the cashier. According to statements made by friends of veteran, the cashier - of Middle Eastern descent - told him that he would not serve his kind and that he believes that our people (US Military) should leave his country.

'Help us show American pride, unity and patriotism by protesting against any patronizing of this business. Help us to show our service men and women that we DEEPLY appreciate what they do for us and our country. I love my freedom, do you?'
