Veterans Day Free Meals
 
If any vets out there are thinking of going to Golden Corral to get the free meal voucher advertised on line.....don't bother. I just went and was turned away with several other vets who were very dissapointed. They told us that they were not participating in any Veterans Day Promotions.. I thought that I could possibly save someone a wasted trip.

They have had a tough year but its a shame the offer was out there and not accepted by them

Just received my 10% veterans discount at Publix today. You have to ask and show proof

The last thing I want to do is beg for a free meal from any restaurant especially this year when there having such a hard time and for those who are about to jump on me . I’m a combat wounded vet and more then once

I 100% agree. The restaurants are struggling and do not need to give away food.

Corporate offering as with any business they don’t have to participate. If you read the fine print it probably says At participating locations.

A blessed day to all Veterans, thank you for your service.

The lady checking us out today at Publix in Spanish Plaines asked. I had my VA ID ready. No problem!

First off thank you for your service. I think it’s fantastic when businesses make offers such as this. I find it caring when our vets who don’t need the offers leave them for our vets that really don’t have a lot at all and are in need. Here in the bubble we really are fortunate on our needs being fulfilled most of the time. Others aren’t so lucky and could really use these freebies.

That is a shame because Golden Corral is the closest reminder of the free chow halls I endured when I was stationed at APO 96594 in the late ‘60’s.
