2015 Veteran's Day free Meals and Discounts

Best response there is.

Awesome MSgt Curtis Ellis. That's a great way to honor our homeless veterans.

That is Awesome! Good deeds do the heart and soul good!

Sir, a good way to go about it, is what my buddies and I used to do (been a few years since we met up on Veteran's Day), just tip the meal cost. It was our way of paying it forward. It makes the waiter's or waitresses' day.

LCpl Steven Fiore - That's a great approach.

Here is what I do. I order a meal and the free meal. I tip for what would be full amount of both meals, and then I take the free meal and I find a homeless vet, or vet who is panhandling, and give them that meal. I see it as about the only way I can thank the restaurant, and help a brother in need.

I think part of the intent here is for large groups to show up and not just have a meal but maybe a beer or two with it and bring a spouse with them. Like mentioned by LCpl Fiore, tip big.

Kevin it's a good way to pay it forward. We always buy some of the vets food. Whatever they want. Some, you can tell they are homeless. It's a great feeling. You don't have to eat. Have a Coke or something and help a vet.
