Free Meals Today for US Military Vets, Soldiers @ McCormick & Schmick’s
*** UPDATE: MORE Free Meals, Stuff for Veterans, Current U.S. Military Personnel on Veterans Day – Click Here! ***
To my readers who are serving or have served in the U.S. military, today (Sunday), you can have a free meal on the house at McCormick & Schmick’s, which is celebrating Veteran’s Day early.
McCormick & Schmick’s. For the 11th year in a row, the 87 locations in 25 states are offering free entrees to veterans on Sunday. The chain also requests military ID and highly recommends reservations. The promotion is on Sunday instead of Veterans Day, “because it allows vets to bring their families who might not be available during the week,” CEO Bill Freeman says.
There are other deals–free items or discounts, later this week, for current and past U.S. military personnel at Applebee’s, Krispy Kreme, Golden Corrall, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Outback Steakhouse.
But before you applaud these businesses for giving free stuff to those who served, remember that it is good business. A military man or vet who eats at McCormick & Schmick’s or Applebee’s will get to eat free, but he might bring friends and family, who’ll be paying. And in these tough times, it’s smart business to fill empty seats, as less Americans eat out.

Good business all around. Particularly when the government seems determined to allow the death of American soldiers to protect the illusion of diversity. Diversity to a Muslim means separateness from American society, not inclusion. The more Muslim they are, the more likely they are to see other Americans as different and evil. But this seems OK as long as we can keep the casuality count down to 40 or so.
