Save

veterans, veterans everywhere you look veterans, veterans every little nook veterans, veterans sittin' everywhere veterans, veterans fillin' every chair veterans, veterans they're lined out the door veterans, veterans here come even more veterans, veterans where will we seat 'em? veterans, veterans we'll find room for them veterans, veterans the least we can do veterans, veterans we honor, thank you veterans, veterans active duty, too veterans, veterans free buffet for you!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------
I work at the Golden Corral in Burleson, Texas; have worked there five years next month, as a cashier. (Karen, my twin sister, has worked at Golden Corral over two and a half years; she is the fastest silverware roller we have!) Last night was Military Appreciation Night at all Golden Corral Restaurants. All Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel (including Coast Guard and Reserves) received a FREE buffet, includ- ing beverage...this went from 5:00 PM 'til 9:00 PM. It's the least we could do. We served almost 500 Veterans in our restaurant yesterday evening. It was SO busy, but so much fun! :) (BTW, Karen rolled over eight pans of silverware in four hours.) We are honored to work for such a fine company that recognizes and honors true heroes. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :) (Hope you enjoyed your FREE meal! Thank you for your service to our country!! grins)
