Veterans Will Eat Good and Cheap Today
November 11, 2024
If you are a veteran, I hope you will take advantage of all the free or discounted food offers from restaurants today because of Veterans Day. I have already started receiving texts and emails from restaurants, not because I am a veteran, but because they have my contact information. It is too bad that restaurants don’t honor those who actually do something productive for society like garbage collectors, plumbers, mechanics, and landscapers.
I don’t have a Veterans Day article this year, but nothing has changed since I wrote this one last year so you can reread it to understand why we should not celebrate veterans.
