That's really cool! I'll have to let my military friends know! ^^ You know how they all love free food! ^^ Heck, Who doesn't :D

Yeah! I can't decide which place I want to go to more, lol. I want to go to all of them and just get to-go boxes, hahaha!

I don't have anyone in my family who serves or has served (except my grandfather, who passed away a few years ago). Why doesn't the national volunteer corps count too?! xD

My dad's a veteran. It's great, we get free stuff once every year and I get scholarships. :D

Time to go shopping! Thanks for the info.

You're welcome!
