WOW! Awesome reminder for all. I will e-mail to everyone I can.
We just had a 93 year old war hero die. He earned a couple of Purple Hearts. We have another 85 + year old who was at Iwo Jima, I believe. He was one of the few who got out. The rest of his platoon was killed. We just had 120 National Guardsman deploy to Kuwait from this county, this week.
I will be going to Applebee's between classes, with some of my classmates who served, my DH, and with those near and far in our thoughts and prayers.

At participating Applebees, they will serve all veterans showing proof of military service, FREE from a limited menu. I think their is a charge for drinks and desserts. Heck, pay it for them. And remember, thank a vet, even one you don't know.
