All -
         A reminder that several businesses are  "giving back" with 
freebies for current/former military personnel.  Here's a list of 
those of which I'm aware; please feel free to cross-post and forward 
as appropriate.
                 1) Most SUBWAY restaurants will give a free 6" sub 
to all active/former military personnel today; present ID at counter.
                 2) Free overnight stays at hundreds of "Bed and 
Breakfast" establishments for tonight (see 
<http://www.gadling.com/2010/10/07/veterans-thanked-with-free-bed-and-breakfast-stays/>).
                 3) Applebee's Restaurants offer a free meal tonight 
for current and former military <http://www.applebees.com/vetsday/>.
                 4) Outback's Steakhouse is offering free Bloomin' 
Onion and beverage <http://outback.com/companyinfo/thanksforgiving.aspx>
                 5) Krispy Kreme is offering a free doughnut 
<http://investor.krispykreme.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=422165>
                 6) Last but far from least, Golden Corral is 
offering a free buffet dinner -- and their buffets are 
OUTSTANDING!  Golden Corral started this whole "payback" thing, and 
this is their tenth year doing so.  NOTE: This offer is good for 
Monday November 15th, not today.  Presumably, they realize that we 
are overwhelmed with offers for this evening.   See 
<http://www.goldencorral.com/military/>.
         Thanks for your service, my brothers and sisters!
