There is a television ad running with Bob Dole, if you've not seen it, advertising this year's the Golden Corral Restaurants chain third annual honoring of all military personnel, past and present.
(Included also are Reservists and National Guard members.)
This year, it will be on Monday, November 10th - the Marine Corps Birthday..:))
Have been to the one in Aiken, and it was First Class all the way, the staff well instructed to be extra nice to us.
Despite the very long line to get in (5 - 9, and go early!), it moved very rapidly, and it was a full buffet, with even your being able to choose the steak and have it grilled before you, and enjoy the soup and salad and dessert bars as well.
The best thing was the joy felt from the honorees, to be thus recognized.
If your spouse is not military, there is of course a charge.
(They give Senior Discounts, if that person is one.)
Here is the URL to the Golden Corral's website:

The greatest thing was the tremendous respect shown everyone who participated by every employee from the manager down.....
