Last week I took my dad to the doctor, at the National Naval Medical Center, for a follow-up regarding an eye problem he was having. My father reminded me that he had his handicap sticker, so as we pulled into a handicapped parking spot I saw the sign on the wall and thought, what the hell?

I know that I am at the National Naval Medical Center because that is where I intended to go and I read the sign at the entrance gate. So cautious me; I go to the security guard and I asked him what's the "NNMC" for because everywhere else that I have been the signs just say handicap. He informs me that I should be fine just as long as you have the handicap sticker. I won't dwell on the fact that he really didn't answer my question. I was just wonder why put NNMC Handicap. I mean the signs in other buildings that I have visited just say Handicap. I just thought that was weird.
