Haggis..I couldn't agree more...just like why celebrate a day of thanksgiving..shouldn't we be Thankful all year long? My father is a veteran..he finally has a decent VA hospital...took many years...why can't we honor and treat ours vets better other just 1 day a year!!!!!!...

If you go to Godlen Corral, get there early!

I tried Golden Corral last year in Wake Forest but the line was wrapped around the building. Not for me. I do appreciate the gesture though.

I often wonder what Vets really think of such things.....I'm not a Vet myself (Volunteered for the RAF but evil US Corp tempted me away with lots of money and no forced marches)but it seems that it would be better that people focused on making sure Vets are treated well when they need help (remember the disgrace of the VA hospital a few year back)rather than a free meal now and then.

Vets, whats your thoughts on the subject?

" hi'ya Sessy..how is the engaged life going?? "

going GREAT thanks for asking Chickie ! Just wish getting my house rented out was ! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I would also add that if you are not a veteran you should support those restaurants who support our vets.

Golden Corral does this very very well.

We've gone every year since I'm a veteran. They can easily handle the traffic with the long lines, but if you get there a little earlier, even that's a breeze.

God bless.
