I have a disabled veterans plate. The way I walk into a store, people don't see that I am disabled. After half an hour of grocery shopping, then they can see by the way I am walking that I am disabled. I always carry my VA healthcare ID which states I am service connected and DoD ID which states I am DAVPRM/E5 just in case.
