And some people have the nerve to say that we aren't trying hard enough.  Have a great day!!!!   Mine was made better by knowing that a veteran had been helped. http://vfwwebcom.org/mo/dist9/77452/ Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:33:00 -0500 http://vfwwebcom.org/mo/dist9/77452/ Applebee's Salutes the Military on Veterans Day Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar restaurants invite all active duty and veterans to pull up a chair for a delicious meal.
