Thank a Veteran

I'm a Veteran of the US Air Force. I served between 1968 and 1972. It was my honor and privilege to serve our country.

About two years ago I heard about a program that Applebee's had, I'm not sure of the name they gave it but I will refer to it as "Buy Lunch for Veterans".

In this promotion, Applebee's would buy lunch for whatever vets came to their restaurant for a meal. It could have been both lunch and dinner, I'm not really sure.

What I do know for sure is that my Korean War buddy, who is now 83, and an Army vet, the same age as me, and I all had a nice lunch, this year, and last year as well.

My hat is off to Applebee's. It was a kind thing that they did, and I am sure that the vets who took advantage of this promotion, will all go back and spend some more money there.

Applebee's Thank you. We all love your "Buy Lunch for Veterans" program.
