[Guest guest]

Howdy y'all,

 

I expect that there are many local companies/organizations showing

appreciation for military folks this weekend. Here are a few that of

the nation wide companies I am aware of.

 

If you are qualified I recommend you consider taking advantage of

these offers .. for sure you earned it.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch

Veterans to be Honored at Applebee's

 

According to the Applebee's web site: " Select Applebee's Neighborhood

Grill & Bar restaurants (164 participating restaurants nationwide) are

testing a promotion that invites all active duty and veterans to pull

up a chair for a delicious meal and heartfelt thanks this Veterans

Day. With gratitude for their service and sacrifice, active duty and

veterans will eat free at participating locations on Veterans Day

(November 11, 2008) during regular business hours. Veterans and active

duty with proof of United States military service will be able to go

to one of the participating Applebee's and select one complimentary

entrée from a selection of delicious favorites: a savory House

Sirloin, hearty Riblet Basket, zesty Fiesta Lime Chicken®, a juicy

Quesadilla Burger or fresh Oriental Chicken Salad. All the traditional

sides are included. " A list of participating restaurants is here.

Sounds like a good idea to me, and a special THANKS to Applebee's!
