Are you planning to go get a free meal at a restaurant on Veterans Day? Why or why not?

It’s almost that time of year! Veterans and those currently serving will celebrate Veteran’s Day. Many will take advantage of those free meals and deals for Veterans. Have you done that? Are you planning to this year? Have you ever seen folks abuse it? I once saw a surprise APFT the day after Veterans Day. Along with height/weight. You know....just because. What say you?

Hell no! There are way too many posers and clowns out and about on Veterans Day. I will however say a prayer for my fallen comrades and attend a dignified memorial service in their honor.

I second that Hell no. I think all restaurants should enforce showing ID proof of being Active Duty or a Veteran. Many of them in my area don't and it would be a good way to weed out the fakes. I'd rather honor those who served and sacrificed in a better way than be surrounded with posers who don't know what it means.

So Americans are trying to say Thank You in their own way and you going to let a few take that away? Go enjoy Veterans Day in-spite of the posers you deserve it.

After all the experiences I had, while I got paid to do them, nobody owes me anything. My life was so much bigger than it would have been if I "shoveled $#!*" in Louisiana.

I plan on visiting two places. A gentleman my mother knows, hits up every place in the town he lives in. I am not greedy.

I calculated if I took advantage of the free meals, I could have had 3 meals a day for 2 days. D
idn't do it but I did take one meal and tipped the server the price of the meal.
