Who says that there’s no such thing as a free lunch—or even a free dinner? Today, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar Restaurants around the country are offering a free meal for veterans and military active-duty personnel.
Since it’s the 2nd year of this kind of promotion and with that in mind, restaurants are in “all-hands-on-deck” mode and opening a half-hour earlier than normal at 10:30am today. The restaurants have been completely decorated in patriotic themes, and all staff will be wearing read, white and blue.
To qualify for the free meal, customers must bring military identification, such as a Uniform Services Identification Card, Uniform Services Retired Identification Card, current leave and earnings statement, veterans’ organization card, a photograph in uniform, a DD214 form, a commendation. Or, just wear their uniforms.
Thank you to all our men and women today who wrote a blank check with their lives for us.
