"Golden Corral Celebrates 'MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT'
~~~~~
Golden Corral restaurants are pleased to announce its annual tradition of honoring our men and women in uniform, by celebrating "MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT" on Monday, November 15, 2004, from 5 P.M.-9 P.M. your time.

It's the least we can do to say, "thank you."

For your service and sacrifice, Golden Corral will be offering a free buffet dinner (including a regular sized beverage) to ALL active duty personnel, ALL veterans of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces (including Coast Guard and National Guard).  No ID is required; we use the honor system.  Any non-military family member or friend will have to pay.

It's the least we can do to say, "thank you."

I have been employed with Golden Corral for nearly seven years, and have worked MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT each year.  Be prepared:  it will be crowded.  (I think every veteran in the nine county area comes out!)  But it is a good time.  Smiles and patience are in abundance, as well as memories and tears.  Every year, nationwide, over 200,000 veterans and active duty personnel are served.

As an ex-Air Force medic, I appreciate Golden Corral for remembering the service and sacrifice of its military members.  Many did not receive a hero's welcome home, or even a thank you.  Golden Corral has gone out of its way to salute each and every military member and I, for one, am most grateful.

Hope to see you all there!
