I'm saying that they'd be encouraged to stay because they're tied to the award. Not that they'd leave because they didn't get it. Also, they're Veterans for a reason - they have been here for ages. They'll have a commitment to the community that has nothing to do with the reward. It'll be harder for them to leave, and they've been here for so long without getting it, so why leave? It makes much more sense for the person who comes along and helps a bit to leave than the Veteran. But we can prolong their stay by giving them a reward.
