From an email I recieved today through my PA office:

In recognition of your service to our country, all veterans and active duty Military personnel are invited to eat free at Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar Restaurants this Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov.
11, 2009.

As you may recall, Applebee's launched a pilot program last year on Veterans Day offering free entrees to Military service personnel and veterans.
Because the response was so overwhelmingly positive, Applebee's is extending the invitation throughout the country this year.

We would appreciate your help in spreading the word. Please help us share details across your various communication channels.

All U.S. veterans and active duty Military with proof of current or former Military service will eat free at all Applebee's nationwide on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009.

Good deal. Thanks for the post.

I'm wondering if my VA medical ID (with Photo) would suffice?

I can see people having fun with this one.
Does it have to be a Military uniform? *wink*

I fought in Grenada but they said that war didn't count ?

I thought the DD-214 missing was strange, too. Any vet should be very used to using that as proof of service.

Cool, I'm gonna use my mini laminated Crossing the Line card from 1992. Shellback for Life!
btw, it's personally signed by Davey Jones and Neptunus Rex.
My DD-214 is locked in a safe deposit box somewhere.

OH shoot.. 4 years in the NAVY and I'm still a pollywog!

thanks op

if possible, respectfully request date be included in title.

Fatwallet is one thing, and we've all scammed coupons and things like that. Attempting to get a free meal when someone didn't serve is rather pathetic. If someone does feel the need to put on a uniform to get a meal, make sure there's something to allow prosecution under the Stolen Valor Act.
