Mary Claire Caine said she believes the “Wounded Vet” did not realize she was a fellow veteran because of her sex. “They have this image of what today’s American veteran is,” she said. (Photo credit: WECT)WILMINGTON, N.C. – An Air Force veteran who served in Kuwait found a note on her car Friday criticizing her for parking in a veterans-only parking spot in Wilmington.
Mary Claire Caine told WECT-TV that she returned to her car from shopping at Harris Teeter to find a note plastered to her front window from a person identifying themselves as a “Wounded Vet.” It read,
“Maybe [you] can’t read the sign you parked in front of … This space is reserved for those who fought for America … not you. Thanks, Wounded Vet.”
Caine, who served in Kuwait and on the flight line of the F-117 Nighthawk, said her heart sank.
“The first thing I felt was confusion that there was a mistake, and that I had to talk to this person and ask them why they were so quick to assume I wasn’t a veteran and that I was taking privileges that didn’t belong to me,” Caine said.
