[bramagedained]

Hah, I was just checking that out too.

This will be the first Veteran's day when I've not been around a military base. Do places giving out free shit still get busy here in MN?

[goodhart]

The last few years they have been absolutely nuts. There are shit loads of Iraq/Afghan vets in MN now after the last few guard deployments.

[turbotalon1g]

^agreed. I think the last 2-3 years have been crazy you need to call ahead.

[tpunx99GSX]

someone should change this thread title to not include the day.

[98gstaherns]

Nice. God i remember the golden corral in Va was so crazy every year line wraped around the building twice. but yet no line at applebees across the street.

[bramagedained]

In 09 when we tried to go get free food on vets day it was almost not even worth the wait in Clarksville, TN which is the town right outside Ft. Campbell.

Though, we had Prime Rib and Lobster in Afghanistan on Veteran's day last year.

[turbotalon1g]

Good find here, this site has a program for companies that will provide a free car wash.

I'm going to green planet wash in lakeville, they clean inside and out.

[bramagedained]

No, my buddy's mom is a doctor. She mailed us prime rib packed in dry ice and some sort of medical-grade container so it was still frozen when it got to us, and I knew some of the cooks so I got the lobster before it was fucked up by them cooking it.

[goodhart]

^^That is fucking awesome. haha

I lived on Ramen, Tuna, canned goods, etc in country. The only thing I ate from the chow hall was lunch meat and salads.

[Halon]
