North Alabama Computer Associates
Huntsville, AL - I love supporting local businesses whenever possible, and I just discovered a computer shop I really like: North Alabama Computer Associates just south of Drake on Memorial Pkwy (in Applebee's parking lot strip mall) and it's owned by a veteran. I was searching everyone for a specific NIC and they had it at a great price! When I was checking out, I saw some old photos by the cash register and recognized a stack of orange barrels. I talked to the owner who is a proud Vietnam vet, and he confirmed: it was barrels of Agent Orange. I almost broke down in tears, because so many of our veterans died a horrible death because of that chemical and the VA only recently recognized it as the problem. Of course, they admitted the problem only after most all of the veterans were already dead from it. To this day, they still fight vets over their benefits for their disabilities. The owner said he keeps the photo there to remind him of his fallen brothers. So sad, but I'm glad he is doing well and hope his little computer shop gives him great prosperity.
