Dox the two former employees so they get a taste of their own medicine

Hotel bar sign informs 'military personnel' they won't be served any longer. Hotel manager isn't amused.

'Treated us like crap'

The sign at the hotel bar sent the message loud and clear: "NO LONGER SERVING MILITARY PERSONNEL & THEIR GUEST(S)."

Naturally 600 or so military members and their guests attending a ball Thursday at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Colorado Springs weren't very happy.

Aimee Osbourne, a disabled veteran whose husband is currently serving, posted a photo of the sign on Facebook on Friday but has since removed it due to negative comments, KOAA-TV reported. Hundreds of others, however, posted the same photo and accompanying text on their pages, the station said.

What happened?

Osbourne told KOAA her group was honoring those who have served, POWs/MIAs, and those lost, as well as partaking in a "grog," a traditional ceremony in which items — some not terribly palatable — are placed in a container and participants drink from it.

She told the station her group wasn't behaving badly but that hotel staff started blocking access to the grog and then the bars were closed and the signs posted at 9 p.m.
