Jeff,

I got the news over the Tribes network Friday. Golden Corral is doing the same, except all you can eat. I have the day off, I might do them both!

Wonder if they have roast suckling pig?

Here is a list of several places doing something for vets. Not all are on Veterans Day.
Applebees just started this last year. I was not impressed with the 3 or 4 items you had to choose from, but since it's free I'll probably go again? They also charge for any drink you get. Afternoon was a short wait, went to the other one for the evening meal to see if it was any better - it wasn't - line was 30+ min.
Golden Cotral is all inclusive and all you can eat - 100% better deal, but be prepared to stand in line for 30-40 min.

Well,

I worked on my house all morning. I'm hungry. Off to AppleBeez!

Well, I went to AppleBeez al right. The place was full. I sat at the bar with some guys who had their service in the '50s. There was a man at the bar in full tartan, kilt and all, Black Watch or maybe Mckenzie. I asked the servers if he was a regular, they said he was.

I had the hamburger. It was pretty good. I had my DD214 with me, but they weren't asking for ID or anything. Some bikers came in and took a table I guess they were vets too. or maybe their old ladies were.

Well, I might go to Golden Corral on Monday. All you can eat! Lets see who shows up.

I didn't know about it and took my grandson there, we went early and got seated quick. They asked me if I was a Vet which took me off guard at first but I showed them my service connected DAV card so the little guy and I ate for free. By the time we left the place was full and the staff are in a panic. A guy who looked twice my age stopped at my table because he had seen my flash my DAV card and he thannked me for serving. He was wearing a 1st Cav cap. When I left I did the same by taking my grandson to all the tables with active service and Vet's.

When I got out of the service, I had the good sense not to tell anyone I was a vet. I think things have changed for the better. If it was me, I would prefer a little less stroking from the civilians ... but then I like to be let alone.

Anyway, I'm glad to se the general civilian pop. supporting the troops, even if they go a little overboard on it.
