[AT] OT - Thanks For Your Service Vets

[Dave Johnson]

 Thanks for taking note of these offers, Chuck. I agree - I find myself steering towards these same restaurants throughout the year, in part because they seem to care....
With respect to Home Depot, the official 10% discount policy is steered towards retirees ( except for a couple specials days when all vets qualify) though some cashiers don't make that disticntion between retires and vets.
On the other hand, Lowe's gives ALL vets a 10% discount 365 days a year. Unfortunately, Lowe's arranges their stores in an odd fashion, with lumber on one end of the store and nails & screws on the other end...being a general contractor spending time walking around a store is a frustrating waste of time, so HD it usually is ( where the cashiers usually apply the 10% discount anyway).
On another not, it was indeed sad to the news of Dave's passing come across the wire - I've lurked on the ATIS group for more years than I remember and his posts were always worth reading. It seems that the pace of these voices becoming silent is ramping up as the years pass  (:<((
So, many thanks to all of you that share the ins and outs of making old iron tick - very enjpoyable reading and who knows? With retirement around the corner, there may be something old and green sitting in the shop!
Best

 Y’all,

Hats off this Veterans Day to those on the list who have served. Applebees, Olive Garden and many other restaurants are offering vets free meals today. Always note the eateries which do that, as I figure they need more of my business the rest of the year.  (For more of these, check out http://www.military.com/veterans-day/restaurants-veterans-day-military-discounts.html ).
Home Depot has been giving a 10% discount to military retirees year round. At the one nearest me, have seen the check out folks even offer it to those who have served for shorter periods with a VA card or other proof of service.
