In Observance of Veterans Day
Many restaurants are
offering free or discounted meals for Veterans. So many offers and so little time. One year, some friends and I rode our motorcycles on a Applebee's tour. This year I stayed local and did a variety tour. Here is a list of the offerings I was able to take part in this year.
Bar Louie Free Lunch or Dinner (Tues night) From open to close Tuesday, November 10th and Wednesday, November 11th Bar Louie locations across the country will offer veterans and active military personnel a free meal up to a $12 value when they show valid military I.D. or other proof of service. California Pizza Kitchen (Wed night) On Veterans Day, all veterans or active duty military personnel will be able to select from a special Veterans Day menu including pizza, salads and pasta. Please come in uniform or bring your military ID or other proof of service. Starbucks (times 2) Veterans, active duty service members and spouses get a free tall coffee on on November 11 at participating locations. World of Beer On Wednesday, November 11, World of Beer invites all veterans and current servicemen to enjoy a free select draught beer by presenting a military ID, VA Card, or proof of service, where legal. A big thanks to all for the support! Happy Veterans Day! |

It Feels Good to Be a Veteran Today: Free Food for Veterans
Radiohead: Harry Patch (In memory of)
I saw this story on the BBC News website via Facebook (H/T: KMD) and thought it was perfect to share here on PhilosFX this Veteran's Day
Listen to Radiohead's song using the words of WWI veteran Harry Patch. Patch, the "Last Fighting Tommy," was interviewed in 2005. He passed away 4 years later at the age of 111 years and 38 days, and was laid to rest August 6, 2009.
I am the only one that got through
The others died where ever they fell
It was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
I've seen devils coming up from the ground
I've seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical but they will never learn

"Unity in Remembrance"
A Veteran's Day message
by Dr. Thomas Conner,
William P. Harris Professor of Military History,
Hillsdale College
"Soldiers seem to understand with special clarity what this inherited standard of service and performance is.... A century and a half ago, Union soldier Sullivan Ballou, in trying to explain to his wife why he had decided to join the ranks and put at peril what he knew would be a blissful life with her, recalled 'how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution.'"
