it was nothing

Golden Corral was proud to honor our
Active Duty, Reserve, and Veterans of
service with a free buffet and drink
on Monday, November 10th (Military Ap-
preciation Night) and again on Tuesday,
Novemember 11 (Veteran's Day).

it was nothing
it was the least we could do
wish we could have done more
it was our way to thank you

it was nothing
we hope you enjoyed your meal
we enjoyed your company
you're our heroes, our ideal

it was nothing
it was our way to say, "thanks"
we were happy to do it
from grunt to the highest ranks

it was nothing
we will always remember
we honor you and thank you
veterans and service members

it was nothing
it was the least we could do
wish we could have done more
it was our way to thank you

was it nothing?  no...it was EVERYTHING
(thank you)

(C) Karla Dorman, 2003.  (USAF, 1983-1985)

and yes, i got my free meal, too!  THANK YOU, GOLDEN CORRAL*

Extremely nice of Golden Corral. You will only find that in the south, as up here in the beautiful north, these damn yankee's are only in it for the money and there is no money being made giving out free food, even to veterans...well poo-poo on them, they won't make an extra dime out of good publicity as your restaurant will...Peace, Ed & Rufuz
