A Veterans Day Thank You

Hey Joe, Good Morning!

Just a small word from the Vets of Salisbury and area around here.

I have for a long time had a little burr about Veterans Day when everyone seems to get the day off except the Vets.

But that’s the American way I guess, but I have to put a special thanks to the “Golden Corral” for having a free dinner to all Vets in the Area. Every year they have a special day (this year, Monday 11/17) when they allow all Vets to come and eat free. It was very special and I loved seeing so many Vets show up. We were welcomed with open arms, the manager came around and thanked all of us for what we did and stood for. The staff was very great to us and we all met allot of other Vets we did not know.

I’m very grateful to them and it felt very good to be recognized. Some of us paid prices that allot of people will never know!

Thank you again “Golden Corral” from all of us!!

Bob, not "everybody" get Veterans Day off. Government offices, banks and the Post Office maybe, but that's about it. Retail certainly doesn't shut dowm; most chains use Vtereans Day as an excuse to have a sale.

But kudos to Golden Corral! It's refreshing to see a business stop their pursuit of the almighty dollar for a day to honor our veterans; you guys deserve a bigger thank you than you get.
