Thanks Golden Corral
In a previous blog entry, I expressed appreciation for the free meal that Applebee's provided veterans on Veterans Day.
And now, I'd like to thank Golden Corral for the free dinner that it provided to veterans on Monday, November 17. There was a big turnout at the Waukesha restaurant despite that night's icy road conditions. My husband (a Vietnam War veteran), several of our friends who had served in the military and their spouses, and I were among the many who attended the event.
