One good story from yesterday, we went to Owensboro yesterday to get a tree, we haven't had a tree in about 5 years. So we decided to go to O'Charley's to eat, I have never used my VETERAN status at a meal on VETERAN'S DAY but yesterday I decided to, they a free meal for us. So we ordered, had a great meal, before the waitress brought us our ticket I told Mrs. M what a great waitress the lady was and I had two ornaments I had taken with us to see which tree we wanted to get and to see which tree the ornaments looked best with the tree. I told Mrs. M I was going to give her one, we did and I thought the lady was going to cry. Then when she brought us our ticket we looked at it and it was or $2.97, we called her over and told her she had made a mistake and Mrs. M was not a service member, she just looked at us and said, as far as I am concerned you served with him!!! By now Mrs. M is crying she hugged us told us to have a great day! We left her a sizeable tip.
One funny thing with this is, Mrs. M always wants to stop at the Island Dairy freeze for an ice cream. So I get us two cones and they cost us more than our two dinners at O'Charley's!!!!
