I wish I had known about this, if our Chick-FIL-A had done this. It's a great tribute to our currently serving military and our Veterans. Thanks Chick-FIL-A.
Chick-fil-A, the same fast-food outlet that constantly gets accused by liberals of being evil, has once again proved the opposite to the world.
This time it did so by unveiling an amazing Veterans Day tribute that left Georgia resident Eric Comfort in complete shock.
According to a Facebook post he published on Monday, when he walked into a local Chick-fil-A, Comfort discovered a “Missing Man Table” that contained a single rose, a Bible and a folded American flag, as well as a plaque within which was the following explanation:
“This table is reserved to honor our missing comrades in arms. The tablecloth is white — symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call of duty. The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing and their loved ones and friends of these Americans who keep the faith, awaiting answers. The vase is tied with a red ribbon, symbol of our continued determination to account for our missing. A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by those missing and their families who seek answers. The Bible represents the strength gained through faith to sustain those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God. The glass is inverted — to symbolize their inability to share this evening’s toast. The chair is empty — they are missing.”
After the story went viral, the store manager, Alex Korchan, explained to WSB that his team members had set up the table because they “wanted to honor veterans.”
Furthermore, he revealed that he planned to offer free meals to all veterans and their family members this Veterans Day between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Korchan also put up a poster so that customers could write in the names of loved ones who they have lost.
“We’ve had a lot of people who have come in and seen it and been touched by it,” Korchan continued. “It’s been special to see.”

My daughter worked at the Chik-fil-A at Hoover, Alabama. They donated a rather large meal to my family when they found out I was deploying. They run their organization by values. Value each other, family, customers, family, and the product.

All of the employees are always happy and polite. I don't think there's any other business who treats employees and customers like they do.

SGT (Join to see) - When employees are hired, they inculcate their values into the employees. It is a value based corporation that will teach the young folks about how to live and behave.

MAJ Ken Landgren, I wish all the other food places who hire young people would inculcate them. That would be great. Thanks.

I am not surprised that Chick-FIL-A is honoring veterans SGT (Join to see). They have quietly supported many wonderful causes and groups. "Eat mor Chiken"

SGT (Join to see) - growing up near Philadelphia I have always enjoyed a good cheesesteak like the kind made in South Philadelphia at Pat's Steaks or Geno's just across the street.
