Military Appreciation Monday

November 12, 2007

For the past 6 years, Golden Corral has been honoring the US Military with a free “thank you” dinner and beverage at any Golden Corral restaurant on Military Appreciation Monday (first Monday after Veteran’s Day). This year, Golden Corral has designated Monday, November 12, 2007, from 5 to 9 pm, to honor any person who has ever served in the United States Military.

From the first Military Appreciation Monday in 2001 to the present, Golden Corral has donated 1.5 million free “thank you” meals and $1.9 million dollars to the Disabled American Veterans.

Between November 1 and November 12, 2007, the Disabled American Veterans Organization will accept contributions to be used in the local and state DAV chapters.

If you do not want the free meal, go to the GC and donate the cost of the meal to the DAV.

also, go to the link above and see the other things the GC is doing for the vets. (Christmas cards and an essay contest for Vets and their familys.

Golden Corral is great, and started in my hometown (Fayetteville, NC). My only beef with them right now is they are all buffet, all the time. You can’t get a steak at lunch. Otherwise, their big-fat-yeast-rolls are to die for, and their weekend breakfast is tasty and reasonably priced (especially with kids).
