Nov.12, 2009 - Veteran's Day Observation

Was it me, or did it seem that more people including retailers celebrated Veteran’s Day this year?

Veterans were offered free meals at Applebee’s and Outback Steakhouse to name a few. I don't remember the same gesture last year.

I feel veterans should receive discounted meals EVERY day, not just one day a year. They are under paid and under appreciated.

It just seemed odd that they were more appreciated this year. Maybe it was the continuation of the “I'm not-George Bush” mentality.

BTW – How’s that Afghanistan decision coming Mr. Obama?

It’s only been 4 months and nine meetings. As the great philosopher Lee Iacocco once said, “Lead, Follow, or GET OUT OF THE WAY.”
