Oh, I'm not being cynical. I have had the opportunity to be in the advertising meetings of large restaurant chains. I have been involved in this stuff for 45 years. The conversation never starts out, "what can we do that's a nice thing for veterans." The conversation always starts, "what can we come up with to increase sales."

I agree, that if Veterans benefit, that's wonderful. I can guarantee this though, if sales don't increase for that day, it won't happen again next year.
