Well ... as usual, I was a day late & dollar short. The free meal was on MONDAY .... should'a seen that one coming 
.
But, since they went to all the trouble of stocking up the buffet bar ... I ate anyways
. Gonna have to find a different one to go to ... even for free the food wouldn't have been worth it

Don’t matter what restaurant I’m in, hamburger joint or the best steak house in town US military in uniform does not pay a dime.
I ask the wait staff to have their (and their families) meal put on my check.
Seems the least I can do considering what they do for me .

I do it for the WW2/korea guys...their pride and respect still show. free kiss on the cheek too, if they are alone.
i still argue with the marines being a good army MP gal....lol
viet nam vets look at me, and i nod thanks to them- silently, just the way it was meant to be. we are the generation that served with pride but not to be louder than those who went before us......
Pistol- being a spoiled navy grifter, there will never be any land lubber food better than your fare.....LOL
heard from Davey lately? miss the young feller!

Hey Pistol...you ever get this way you got a free meal waiting on ya 
That goes for you too Heidi Opps I almost forgot Scott too!
I am real bad for picking up Military and Law Enforcement meal checks when I get the opportunity as well. I figure if I make their day with a free meal, they may remember that many of us appreciate the hard efforts they put out for us when the going gets a bit tough.
I can easily recall the days that I wondered why I was putting myself on the line, and a happy memory of someone showing me that my effort did not go un-noticed would make all the difference in the world

No ... haven't heard much from him lately. He keep's busy dishing out the slop to the kiddies as the "Lunch Laddie" (that one still keeps me in stitches).
Last night while I was eating, there was an old WWII navy vet at the table next to mine ... proudly wearing his Navy Veteran hat with all of his campaign ribbons on it and the insignia for his Airdale rate embroidered on his jacket.
We exchanged smiles as those who served often do, and I wanted to go over and shake his hand and thank him ... but settled for just sitting and watching him as he enjoyed a nice dinner with his young, great-grandkids.
He was pretty shakey and frail so I don't imagine there will be too many more golden opportunities for him ... and I wasn't about to disrupt that.
cheers,

I remember getting home from Desert Storm and going to lunch with my Mom. The Waitress bought my lunch. It was truly touching to have someone care that way.
Thanks for the offer Top
if we ever get out east to visit the BHs aunt in Va we will swing by and take you up on the offer.
