Community Reviews

This Veterans Day thread highlights a mix of food freebies, retail discounts, and a few higher-end offers, with Chick-fil-A, Dunkin, Krispy Kreme, Olive Garden, and Wingstop drawing the most concrete deal talk. The strongest retail adds are Dell at 15 percent off for military, veterans, and family, plus L.L.Bean and Target military discounts, though Target's coupon reportedly does not stack and no longer works on video games. Several offers are dine-in only or require a purchase, and some locations had confusing eligibility or pricing, so the fine print matters.

Went to Chili's. Highly recommended if you like burgers. Their Oldtimer's is really good old American burger. You have to purchase a drink and must be a dine-in.

Quote from pchearn View quoted comment :
I'm a 78 year old Vietnam vet. I was just doing my patriotic duty during the Vietnam war, but I have to admit that it brings a smile to my face every time a complete stranger says "Thank you for your service." Those five little words are powerful.heart
A Purple Heart Army Veteran in my area responses to people that thanks him for his service with "You Were Worth It" & I thank pchearn for their service. Vietnam Veterans were not treated very well after returning home. So Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans & Thank You for your Service which was well deserved plus a long time coming. God Bless all of you.
