I just had breakfast. And it was free!
This morning, they hosted the first annual Veterans Breakfast, a free (donations accepted) breakfast for veterans charities. The public was welcome, especially we vets.
And what a spread. Pancake's, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, and potatoes. I sat with a couple fellow Army vets and the parking enforcement officers. The food was great, as was the conversation.

It was actually quite good. If I was greedy, I would've gone through the line again.

In america is everyone who has served in the military in any way called a vet?

That was a nice gesture by those putting on the spread. Hopefully this is the beginning of an enduring annual event for you.

It was the only freebie I took advantage of. It was right across the street, after all.

It was nice. Both of them stayed here when they got out, whereas for me, it was coming home.
