Default 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.

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.

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

it's not begging, it's called marketing

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.
