Is Veteran's Day in the states the same date as Remembrance Day in Canada? (Nov. 11th)?

Wow! Eat free all day - Denny's for breakfast, Applebee's for lunch, and Golden Corral for supper......and maybe Krispy Kreme for a snack!
Seriously, a great appreciation goes out to all businesses that recognize all our Servicemen and the results of their dedication.

Thanks for the link. The only one on the list that we have here in town is Applebees but I don't have a problem with a free meal there.

Yes it is but I don't see anyone in Canada doing anything for the vets.

Pardon my ignorance but Canada actually has a military? I thought their military was the Mounties. I love the country/wilderness idea of Canada, being from Upstate NY and all, but honestly never gave much thought to what type of country it actually is. Are they armed with Hockey Sticks?

Yea actually we do, I'm not really surprised you didn't know though. I served 10 years and have lost friends fighting other peoples wars.

I can't find my DD214, but I have some document signed by Richard Nixon. Probably charge me double.

The largest pay increase to Military was done by Nixon.
