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

No free meal for me. Never had one, never will. I can afford my meal so I'll leave those free meals to Vets less fortunate than I.

My wife is a veteran also so we do go out and have a good time and we always tip according to what the regular price is not the discounted price

No, it's not my thing. I did join and serve for the freebies and discounts. I a business offers me a discount for being a Vet or old, I won't turn it down but I don't go to places looking for it.

Nope. It's a great gesture, but that's all it is, a gesture. I don't need freebies, I don't want thanks for serving. Donate those meals to a homeless vets program, or to a military hospital. Cater a meal at the mess hall, for soldiers who live in the barracks.

No, I don't bring attention to myself.

Only if I was planning to eat out anyway. I greatly appreciate the effort, but I'm not big on dinner out.

Some years yes, some no. But anymore, only when there isn't a crowd - so mostly no.

No - I can pay for my meal, and would rather contribute to those businesses that offer them. Mission BBQ is an example - Sure, I can get a free meal, but those guys still need salaries paid and do a lot of work for vets and law enforcement - I feel better contributing...

No. There isn't a restaurant here that offers that consideration but then I wouldn't anyway. Participating on RallyPoint is about as social as I get.

That is a great question! Even though I appreciate the gesture that businesses offer for Veterans and still serving members. I myself usually avoid any business during Veterans Day. I can only give an example of one time when I went to a restaurant with family, (in civilian attire, must of been the hair cut) and the waitress took my order off the ticket, when I saw that I just left her a regular tip plus the cost of the food I ordered. Like I said, I appreciate the gesture these companies offer during this day of remembrance, but I was not asked or drafted to join I did it because I wanted to. So, it is hard for me to except free stuff mostly because I was brought up to earn my way. I still get yelled at by my spouse for not using Home Depot or Lowe's 10% off lol. I will be visiting a national cemetery and walk through looking at all the service men/women before me and just take some time to thank them as I always do on this day.
