Sure beats getting spat upon and called a babykiller.
Amen brother. Welcome home.
Glad to see this! I don't qualify for a freebie, but I'll visit Applebees as a way of saying "thanks!"
Betcha' Stargazer is real busy tomorrow. :innocent:
Thanks to everyone who has served or is serving and thanks to the businesses that support our vets!
Bet that offer isn't valid in AK. We never get the good deals. :(
Doug - all you have to do is show up.
Two Applebees in Anchorage.
4331 Credit Union Dr, Anchorage, AK - (907) 222-7753
7611 Debarr Rd, Anchorage, AK - (907) 332-7753
One Golden Corral.
4520 Union Square Dr, Anchorage, AK 99503-7245 - (907) 563-9000
Yeah I know but like last night I went to Lowes to buy an electric fireplace. Online it was marked down fron $449.99 to $358.99. I get there and they have one left but was still $449.99 so I said "online it is on sale what the heck?" They responded with "that's a lower 48 sale." That is just one of many instances that has happened. So I would not be surprised if Applebees here didn't honor that promotion. Like subway the $5.00 foot long....HA it's $6.00 up here.
That's why I included the phone numbers. I'd call for you, but it's a local call for you.
Well thanks for the info. I think I can call, I guess. :) Not like I will use it though. Gotta work tomorrow then have a Union Meeting on Base. Will be a late night with pizza to eat I'm sure. :(Quote:

An interesting fact, at least in New Jersey, Lowes actually offers that 10 % discount every day of the year. It is not advertised, you just need to ask the clerk at check out. It helps me feed my "sawdust" habit :drool:Quote:

What? How's a guy supposed to know this stuff? Home Depot and Lowes offer an every day 10% discount?
Doug - Go back and ask for the discount. If customer service won't do it then ask for a manager.
Do you know how much stuff I've bought and I didn't know about the discount!? (walks off kicking chat).

I have the CRS syndrome. About 1 in 3 trips I forget to ask :(
No big deal. You wouldn't cheat a program that helps active military and military veterans, would you? :sneaky2:Quote:

PBS documentary on troop greeters airs tonight
A purpose-driven life: Welcoming troops home an essential calling for seniors
By Cecilia Hadley - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Nov 11, 2009 14:41:44 EST
A troop plane is due to land at Bangor International Airport in Maine and Bill Knight is pacing the airport hallway like an expectant father. When the soldiers finally file off the aircraft and onto U.S. soil for the first time in months, the stooped octogenarian is the first to greet them back from war.
“Welcome home. Welcome home, sergeant,” he says, shaking each of their hands as they shuffle by. “Welcome home.”
It’s a passing moment for many soldiers, on their way to more emotional reunions with spouses, kids and parents, but it will stick with viewers of “The Way We Get By,” a moving documentary about Knight and other volunteers with the Maine Troop Greeters that is screening in select cities this fall and on PBS on Veterans Day.
Since 2003, the greeters have hailed and farewelled hundreds of thousands of service members going to and from Iraq and Afghanistan. Against the backdrop of this constant stream of camo, the filmmakers profile three of the most dedicated: Knight, 86; Jerry Mundy, 73; and Joan Gaudet, 75.
Like its subjects, the documentary spends a lot of time with tired troops in airport hallways and lounges. Jerry cracks jokes as he hands out cell phones: “Call someone up, make them happy, ugly or horny.” Bill, a World War II veteran, shares stories about his service in Europe during the war. Joan dispenses hugs like the grandmother she is. And after each flight, they update a white board with the tally of service members welcomed.
These are the kind of scenes that can tug heartstrings with one hand tied behind their back, and they do. But the film’s real power comes when it leaves the airport and follows Bill, Joan and Jerry into the loneliness, tedium and worries of old age.
As they struggle with sick and aching bodies, the fear of being forgotten, the deaths and departures of family and friends, the movie illuminates how much this white-haired trio identifies with the men and women in uniform they greet — and the meaning this service gives their lives.
“What am I going to do when I don’t have this?” wonders Joan. “I’d be lost.”
“My life don’t mean a lot to me,” Bill says, “but if I can make it mean something to someone else — that’s my endeavor.”
Just wanted to say to all my brother and sister Vets. Thanks. To all you "civilians" Thank you for thanking Us, There have been times when sadly that was not the case. To all the businesses that provide this support the Vets, Thank you.... But why am I finding out when it's all over!?!? LOL
A Grateful Nation is one of the greatest gifts we could have asked for. To me it makes the service Sooo much easier, The pride sooo much sweeter, The melancholy for those who didn't return the way they left Sooo much bluer. But worth every D**n minute of it,at least for me. I Served in the Army, but would like to say to all the Marines.... Semper Fi Leathernecks!!
Poco - The Golden Corral deal is this Monday.
