    I just finished a Free Vets Meal from Applebees . It was just great !! I went there with a friend named Jerry . He had a steak and potatoes entree and I had Chicken Penne with 3 different cheeses. Talk about a delicious meal . We were actually stuffed. The restaurant treated us like Kings. Its nice to have someone treat Veterans with a smile and great service.
    I can’t wait till next year!!
