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

No, The line is usually really long when you live near a military post. Most companies do not have military benefits near a base, because they can not financially handle the onslaught of bargain hunters.There are younger soldiers that need it more than me. I do appreciate that companies show this kind of support for the troops! Thank you!

"Free" is never free...somebody somewhere always pays.

No, I never ask because I have the financial means to pay for my meal.

My wife and I went a few years ago to Golden Corral. We had a long wait. We haven't gone again. Will have to see what and who offers this year.

Quite possibly, the places that offer these discounted/freebies may be owned, operated or managed by veterans and they just feel compelled to honor their brothers and sisters in this manner. On the other hand, quite possibly, those that own, operate or manage these places have some carried over guilt issues because of the way our Vietnam veterans were treated on their return. With that said, do I take advantage of it? Yes sir I do. Disrespect in this country has always been an issue. They’re trying to show their thanks. On the same token, I Pete them know how much it appreciated. I ask for military discounts everywhere I go. Do you use AARP for discounts? Same thing. Never feel guilty because of your service.

I have no problems with getting a free meal in recognition of my service.

I do go to the Olive Garden on Veteran's Day. They do have free food for veterans. However, what I want to eat is not on the veteran's menu, so I pay.

I always find a homeless veteran and get him the meal

Amen Brother..

Got my free meal and tipped the server the price of the meal.
