I can confirm this thing you verbalized so beautifully. I was once cleaning up the side of a road near me that was always littered really badly with trash. There was no sidewalk and the road was a winding 2 lane road. As I was doing this, I had an older gentleman pull over near me to give me a bright orange mesh safety vest he carried in his trunk. He gave it to me as a safety measure and as a way of saying thanks.

What you said about the elders assisting is spot on, thank you (and OP!) for reminding me of this.

Another great example, thanks for what you did. Our elders acted in their day the best they knew how, They are now chomping at the bit to assist us, the moment they see us act they’ll do what they can to help. Be sure to thank them and acknowledge their contribution. I guarantee they were either veterans or were married to veterans.
