**Official Veterans Day Appreciation Thread**
Yeah, its a little early but its never a bad time or too early to show appreciation to our veterans and the current soldiers who are putting themselfs in harms way to help defend our freedoms.

Also let's not forget the families that have to be without their soldiers. They are sacrificing too.

I've started a project to send care packages to the troops of Planet members. We already have a lot of planet members on board with this idea. If you would like to show your appreciation to the troops in that way its located here and is a sticky at the top of the forum. Or if you know of a unit that would need a care package let me know.
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=217140

But, you don't have to give them anything of value or more of your time than just A simple thank you and a handshake when you see a serviceman out in the street, the grocery store etc.or even more simply....jsut say thanks in this thread.

Please keep the politics out of this thread. This is about the soldiers on a personal level and nothing to do with politics.

Veterans, here are the free stuff that I know you can get:

- 11/11 – Sam’s Club is giving away 25,000 free walking canes. No Sam’s Club membership required.

-11/11 - Free pizza or meal for veterans when another entree is ordered at Uno Chicago Grill locations.
- 11/8 – Free lunch or dinner for Veterans at McCormick & Schmick’s seafood restaurant.
- 11/11 – Veterans can choose from a special menu of free meals on Veterans Day at Applebees.
- 11/6-11/12 -Veterans can enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases up to $2000 at Home Depot.
- 11/11 – Free Bloomin Onion appetizer & drink for veterans and active military at Outback Steakhouse.
- 11/11 – Krispy Kreme will give away 1 free doughnut of any variety to any U.S. military person.

If you’re a veteran with proper military ID or an active serviceman, then you can get a free Applebee’s meal today during regular business hours at over 160 locations. Luckily, their site has a list of all the places who are participating, so you can just check there instead of calling your local joint.

Golden Corral is also giving away a free meal to veterans, however they’re holding the promotion on Monday, November 17, 2008 from 5-9pm instead of today.

Hy-Vee stores throughout the Midwest will honor America’s veterans on Veterans Day with a free breakfast in appreciation of their service to the country.
What: Veterans Day Breakfast

When: Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009

Time: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Place: All Hy-Vee supermarkets with in-store dining
The buffet is complimentary for veterans and open to others at a small cost. Some stores have planned programs, displays, entertainment or other activities to go along with the breakfast; check with local stores for details.

Thanks for posting. The home depot one will be a big help for me right now. I just bought a house using the VA home loan and I need blinds. This country and our people really do a good job with helping out Vets.

Thanks again!

Question on this. Why is it in the middle of the week and not on a Monday? Is this something new?

It's absolutely assinine, though, that they insist on it being on the precise date....and not a Monday in conjunction with a long weekend, like other national holidays.

Page 9 http://www.senate.gov/reference/reso...l_Holidays.pdf

Congress designated Veterans Day to be one of five holidays that would henceforth be celebrated on a Monday and changed the date of the holiday from November 11 to the fourth Monday in October.25 Congress returned Veterans Day to its original November 11 date in 1975, after it became apparent that “veterans’ organizations opposed the change, and 46 states either never changed the original observation date or returned the official observance to November 11.”26

Happy Veteran's day guys. Mizzou is giving me and my fellow Veteran students a free meal with the football and basketball team at their student athlete facilities, with a tour of the facilities to follow. Pretty cool in my opinion, regardless of what you non Mizzou fans think

Probably going to Applebees for lunch. I'm a sucker for free food, what can I say. God bless all of you, and enjoy your day fellow vets.
