Military Appreciation

[NCReb]

I know Veteran's Day isn't til next month (November), but wanted to put this info out there for some planning purposes. If anyone knows of other Veteran's Day / Military Appreciation specials that our veterans (self included) can partake of, post it up here. And, to make it Motorcycle related.... maybe you can manage to ride your ride to one of these events.....

As a retired USN person, I really appreciate not only you posting this, but all the members who strongly support the military. I have so much respect for all those who have served in the past and are currently serving. Thank you again.

THANKS to all those who are now doing what we did then. Taking care of business.

 

It doesn't matter who where when or what. You did your part and were proud of being asked to do it.

Like I'd fit in an old uniform now...Even if I could find it, and I don't look nothing like I did when I was 18 so the pic is out. I was much uglier then.

I was thinking the same thing. I do have two hats that fit. My dress uniform hat and a winter hat with the dog ears that go all the way under my chin. I guess I could take the stripes off my dress blues and sew them on a comfortable sweat shirt....not.

Thanks for a great post NCReb.

I know THAT feeling, Buddy. Came back from Viet Nam 165 lbs of pure mean, and now I'm 230 lbs of pure happy...

OMG - I just did the math, it's been 46 years since I was presented a DD214.

I have never taken advantage of the free meals but I just may do it this year. Thanks for the info

Roger That! Too bad Dairy Queen won't step up.

Just dawned on me. Seems like the last time somebody offered me free meals they wanted me to sign something too.
