Veterans Day 2008
« on: November 05, 2008, 11:01:34 PM »
Just so I don't forget to say this here, I want to take this time to say a big THANK YOU!!!! to the men & women who defended this STILL great country and made it possible for people like me to live a good life. Whether it was the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and the others who protects us all, I sincerely appreciate what was done for me, my family and for all of us. I haven't forgotten, I will not allow my children to forget and I will do what I can to always support our veterans.

God Bless the USA!  God Bless our Veterans! God protect the men and women who protect us!

THANK YOU!

With the election going the way it did it's important to remember, our Veterans serve "We the people" not an administration. They serve to defend America, not a particular regime.

As a Veteran, I want to say the Thank Yous are appreciated, but that it was my honor to serve. 

To the men and women currently serving, you have my thanks for taking over when it was my time to Stand Down.

Thank you all for your your commitment.


There is a company that supports Veterans each year on Veterans Day and each year I get misty eyed over it.

That company is Golden Corral Restaurants.  Each Veteran's Day, Veterans eat free there, no questions asked.

While I am not a big fan of their food, I am moved each year by the support they show.

GOLDEN CORRAL MILITARY BUFFET:   
 
From our Patriot Guard Ride Captain:

On Monday 17 NOV 08 from 5 to 9 pm, all 485 Golden Corral restaurants across America will offer any person who has served in the United States Military (including National Guard and Reserves) a "thank you" dinner buffet and beverage on the house - no identification required.  This will be the eighth annual "thank you" dinner for our nation's heroes from Golden Corral restaurants, who have provided over 1,835,000 complimentary meals to military personnel over the history of the event and contributed over $2.53 million to the Disabled American Veterans organization. For the second year, Golden Corral's guests and restaurant teams may send personal greetings to America's military personnel on active duty overseas.   From 1 SEP through 17 NOV 08, special postcards will be available at all Golden Corral restaurants for sending messages of thanks and encouragement to the troops overseas.   They will be delivered to our troops prior to the Holidays.  In 2007, over 55,000 Military Appreciation post cards were delivered to military troops stationed overseas. To locate a restaurant near you refer to http://www.goldencorral.net/ and enter your zip code.
