**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.

God Bless and thanks to all vets and actives.
my son is currently serving in the middle east. last weekend, mrs. sec and i drove down to spend the weekend w/his wife and our grandaughter(3yrs old). i noticed when i tucked her in to bed saturday night she took 1 m&m out of a half filled glass of them and popped it into her mouth. i asked her why only one, and she explained that her and her dad counted them when they put them in the glass. she takes one out and eats it every night before bed. the night that she takes the last one out, her dad will come home the next day. God Bless and thanks to the families of all vets and actives. sec
