I’ll be flying . . . . and always find a random active duty service member to buy lunch and/or a beer for at the airport.
FWIW – my father in law served 35+ years in the Army – served 3 tours in Vietnam, fought the Russians on the German border (yes, he had a number of firefights with them) and fought the Iraqis with the Iranian Army before retiring in the mid 80s.
I’m taking him out shooting this weekend (and cleaning up the leaves around his house).
As a veteran, I fully endorse this initiative. Unfortunately, I only know two people that read this blog regularly that live near me, and they’re both veterans as well.

Also, FWIW – Wednesday is Ammo Day. Sort of fitting that it falls on Veterans Day.

It’s not just for Nov. 11th–I take myself to lunch every day!
Seriously, folks, do so.

Check it out.
