Geez, am I full. Ate too much! LOL Worth it, though. :) Free meals always good!

Thank you, Golden Corral, for recognizing the Veterans. :)


M.A.D.  Not Mothers Against Drunks
(which I am, being alcoholic, myself),
but Military Appreciation Day at the
local Golden Corral.  Hungry Veterans
line out the door, waiting to be fed and
recognized.  Old friends reunited; new

friends made; happy hugs and joyful
slaps on the back as they salute each
other for a job well done, for making
it home; tears flow as those who've
passed on are remembered, whether
on the battlefields of war or of life.

Stories fly as fast as plates are filled;
school choirs serenade with patriotic
numbers; we still remember the words
and sing along.  Each branch of the
Military has their own special tune; its
members are proud to try to outdo the

next.  "Off we go, into the wild blue
yonder ... "  The Marines win this time
around.  Bellies full, we slowly make
our way to the door, with plans to meet
next Military Appreciation Day.  Thank
you, Golden Corral, for a delicious time!

It was a wonderful time, and the best part is that we didn't have to work! :) We had a great meal, and we saw old friends/made new friends. Lots of happy, smiling faces to be seen (not to mention, full bellies!)! I can see why we enjoy Military Appreciation Day; all places should honor our veterans this way! It'd be a much nicer place, that's for darn sure! Well stated, and glad you got your freel meal; you deserved it! Thank YOU for serving; the world is a much nicer place because of people like you who served our nation!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your (grateful) twin sister, Karen Lynn. :D *SALUTE*

It is good to be appreciated EVERY day - you heroes of the red, white and blue. Many of us do appreciate you each day of our lives. It's good when corporate America offers recognition of what you all have done.

My personal "thanks" to you and your fellow patriots.

God bless you. Kathy
