Remembrance Day in some countries and used to be Armistice Day here a long time ago. I'll be looking to score some freebies around town with my DD214 to cover everything. Thanks for your service, everyone!

While I can't be totally sure how it went down, I was parked within sight of the hostess stand and with my VN (Vietnam Veteran) tag visible.
I was seated and ordered up some $45 of steak and wine. The restaurant is good. I was ready to leave and the Manager walks up and says "Sir, it's been taken care of. So has the girl. Thank you for your service".
As soon as I got home, I was on-line with a $50 extra contribution to the USO.
Oh, and Fisher House got my 23K United "miles" this year.

“Sir, it’s been taken care of. So has the girl.”—Just what kind of a restaurant is this, anyway?

Probably a restaurant where the servers appreciate a gratuity for good service. Just a guess.
