Thanks to all that risked all their tomorrows so I could have today!
Three major food chains are serving back today:
Three major casual-dining chains ?Applebee's, McCormick & Schmick's and Golden Corral? are offering free food to veterans and, in most cases, active-duty military personnel in observance of Veterans Day. (The official holiday is Wednesday.)
Looking back on my life, one of the few major regrets I have is that I did not, in my youth, set aside my own self-interest for a few years to serve my country. To those more selfless than I, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks to all who have gone before, and those that currently serve in any capacity. Also, to TSHEA and all Marines here and everywhere, Happy Birthday!!
Navy Vet myself...
A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life,wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact...
