“They have done so much for us.”

Ronnie also offers free haircuts for veterans on Armed Forces day in June, he added: “As a barber you meet all kinds of people,

“But it can be hard for those who have served, so many suffer with PTSD and I believe more should be done to help people who have served our country.

“So many of them don't have jobs and live on the streets. It’s no way to treat the people that fought for our country – they should be treated better.
