Monday nights are typically slow or dead nights in restaurants . So, if you give away free food to veterans, they will usually bring somebody with them who has to pay. Instead of making almost no profit that night, you make 50% of what you make on a regular night. They would do well to offer free food to some special group every Monday or Tuesday.
There are probably no slow nights in the Villages, but if its a national restaurant chain, the local ones have to comply even though they don't need to boost.

Well, whether one thinks the food is worth the wait or not, or if is some kind of self serving profit boost for a dead Monday night, I still think it is a nice gesture, and a way to say thanks.
