Veteran’s Day Plans?

PlanetVelma

Anyone have special plans for Veteran's Day?

Myself - my son (he's in Jr. ROTC) is performing at one of the local cemeteries Friday AM. He's on the saber team, so it should be pretty spectacular.

My fiance is a veteran and I always let him pick the menu for dinner for Veteran's Day. This year he's requested Chicken & Dumplings, I prefer Rabbit & Dumplings, but that's just the red-neck in me. LOL

Not yet but seeing that most of my family-in-law are veterans, I most likely will be doing something.

Since I am a Vet, drinking beer. It's a good reason to honor myself for my commitment.

No special plans, especially since I still have to work.

My employer is buying their veterans lunch. So, even though I'm off on Friday, I am going into work for the free lunch. Then I go to my Dad's, my uncle, and my Grandpa's grave and put a flag on their graves. With dad I'll share a beer.
