Applebees Free Food for AD and Vets ?

[LarryW]

Snopes didn't have a response to this. Got it from a vet friend. Sounds too good to be true.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

We got an email about it from our front office yesterday. I hope they did some digging before they sent it out to the entire Headquarters Staff.

I think I'll go to Applebee's this November 11th, after I park my rear on the curb along Central Avenue to watch the Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade near its stopping point. I will not take advantage of the "free" offer - but buy the most expensive entree and pay - gladly.

They did this last year and I went with a few buddies. There is a dark side to the deal though...drinks are not included we still ended up with a respectable tab despite the free food.

I'm sorry but, this is BAD because ????

I don't see any other major food corp. stepping up to the plate and honoring our Vets and AD this way.

If a restaurant such as Applebee's is honoring our Vets and AD with a Free Sandwich or Burger I say....MORE POWER TO 'EM !!!!!
