Had it been your husband who was at the restaurant, i would agree. But we are talking about you. You get to sleep in your own bed too. It's the actual soldiers who don't. Incidentally the Golden Corrall chain here recently sponsored a Veteran's Day special. Any active or retired military people ate free. I think that's awesome. My husband is a Vietnam vet. He ate free. My son and i paid full price, as we should. We weren't in a war.
