Something for the Vets

I was told that Applebees is providing free meals tomorrow to Veterans. I checked their website and sure enough they are!

There is a listing of the meals that will be provided, looks good to me. So if you are a vet and near an Applebees, feel free to stop by

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.

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.

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.

Oh man I just found out Lowes had a 10% discount running for Veterans day that I didn't use when buying that fireplace.

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

**crashdive123** · 11-10-2009, 06:09 PM

Same in Florida. Home Depot will honor it as well.

**Rick** · 11-10-2009, 09:06 PM

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
