There`s two notes that should be address here:
Proof of Military Service. First, most companies require some form of military ID – including a U.S. Uniform Services ID Card (active/reserve/retired), Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), Photograph in uniform, be wearing uniform (if your service permits), Veterans Organization Card (e.g., American Legion and VFW), DD214, discharge paperwork, or other form of identification. Other restaurants and companies may only require a photo of you in uniform, or go by the honor system.
Participation. Second, always call ahead to verify locations, times, and participation. Many of the listed companies are franchises and may have different policies. I ran into this myself last year, this is just a heads-up.
Thank you for your support of us vets
Applebee’s Does free meal for Vet or AD
thank if there a member of a veterans organization like The veterans of foreign wars they show there member card if active duty there military id that is proof. and what about the spouse of the veteran and active duty they served too just saying
First off unless ur a spoues that has actually gotten a dd214 than no u didnt serve no matter what u think it people like that make it so the real heros dont get the meal because you want to beba freeloader and think ur entitled when u just sit at home while we actually serve
Brandy…you’re so wrong about the military wives “just sitting” at home! We worked hard to bring the best of our spouce out, with their children, home, sewing stripes & patches on their PRESSED regulation dress while they did their job.
Be nice!
Mz Nancy i totally agree with you.Not only was it hard on our spouse but ourselves and or children.We had to be just as strong if not stronger we didn’t want our spouse to have to worry about what was going on while he/she was fighting for our country.A special thank you to all our service men & women.GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!
First of all we do not deserve a free meal on Veteran’s Day!!! It is called Veteran’s Day for a reason. I know how hard it is for military wives but They are the ones that are in the line of fire and getting shot at. We are not. The deserve every once and more then what American’s give to them. So stop sitting on your high horse and think you deserve everything. We do not. We have an easy job. We aren’t getting shot and risking our lives like they. I think Brandy is very much in the right with her comment!!!
First off as a female service member/veteran I know what it’s like serving in a war zone. Secondly, as a Navy brat, I know how hard it is to have a parent that’s deployed to a warzone. Listening to my Mother cry all night long. It creates havock at home and therefore YES the family serves. The spouse sits at home YES but it’s not just sitting around, it’s running a household and trying to keep the family together emotionally while also keeping themselves together. Therefore in a military family, when one serves, EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY SERVES! It is ignorant people like you that make it seem like spouses do nothing. My mother was an ombudsman for 5 years, she not only kept our family together but everyone else’s as well… So maybe you are a spouse that just sits around while your significant other is deployed but many are not. While I was deployed my family worked their butts off trying to stay emotionally stable and help the troops out as much as they could. A deployment is hard on everyone involved. Ignorance is NOT a vurtue nor will it get you anywhere in life.
Ignorance comes from those who make statements that can not be backed up as factual. If you did not serve in the miltary, you are not a veteran. It’s great if you were a miltary spouse and actually supported your husband, (of course that is what you are expected to do). as a wife it is your duty to support your husband. The freebies for veterans is a thank you from the partcipating organizations, and we appreciate it. Don’t think of it as an entitlement, no one owes anything to you if you are not an actual veteran. There are some of course that don’t even appreciate the sacrifices of veterans, but they are leftist-losers most likely. To all those that offer their thanks through their businesses, we say thank you for supporting veterans, and thanks for appreciating them by offering free meals, etc. We will use this as a time for camaraderie with out comrades in arms. No entitlement mentality needed from others.
Free lift ticket at Mountain High for all you snow boarders.
Thanks for sharing. How do you get the $50 from Foodlion?
First off brandy you shouldn’t be so rude if it wasnt for me his wife he wouldn’t have clean uniforms to wear to work or gas to get to work so yes us WIVES are pretty important that doesn’t mean we all think we are entitiled so please think before you speak….although your probably one of the chicks who is wives worry about flirting with our husband
i agree, if it wasnt for the wives these men wouldnt have something to come home to. We are a very important part of Military life. We not only keep the homes clean and the kids fed, but we go through deployments to. all the worry, stress, heartache. We keep our families together when we are oceans away from each other. All the late nights waiting for a phone call, all the nights hugging our children who are just as scared their Daddy might not come home. We may not have been through BMT but we are every bit important to a soldiers life. We make sure our men have nothing to worry about other then coming home safe.
Brandy you are rude an demeaning. I dont think i should get free stuff but we wives do not “just sit at home” like you want to say we do. I help my husband’s morale when deployed, push him to be more then he is, encourage him to try things he doesnt think he should, raise our children like a single mother, Sleep in a bed alone. I did not choose this life, Because I do not choose who i fell in love with. I am there for my husband when no one else is. Obviously you have a lot of learning to do about Military wives. Until you do, dont talk about us like we are worthless trash.
I will say this, my wife, who is not in the military knows that spouses do not deserve free things just because their husband or wife is in the military. She does not care about that. She believes that the soldiers should be the one that receives the free stuff. But there are things out there that are free for spouses who are not military to help you when you need it, not just because you think you need it or deserve it. Yes, my wife worked her ass off keeping the house clean, taking care of our two daughters, taking care of our cats, and paying all the bills. She does everything she can for me when I am deployed, but really seeks nothing in return. She did get a free webcam so we could video chat when I was deployed, but she doesn’t think that everything should be free to a non-military spouse unless you are both in the military. If not, then there is no reason. Just because you are married to a soldier doesn’t mean that you are in the military.
Well i agree everything shouldn’t be free but dosen’t mean we don’t deserve it .I was a military wife for 23 1/2 yrs and now i’m a military mom of 2 and i have raised 3 children so i know about the deployments and things like that. .You right just because i’m married to a soldier dosen’t mean im in the military but it has been a big part of my life and i wouldn’t change it for the world.But i do think the non-military spouses deserve a appriciation .I’m not asking for freebies and i really appriciate what our military men & women do for our country,,Thank You Jamie for your service!
Just so you military wives know, there ARE single service members out there. They put gas in their cars, they clean their rooms, wash their own clothes, and keep their uniforms tidy on their own. You can keep thinking you’re important, but I made it 8 years without a wife. I understand that your job to support your husband is important to you, but it’s not impossible. They’re grown men, they can handle themselves. You want benefits? Earn them like all the other men and women that put on the uniform.
Adam, totally agree with u! I’m a Marine & so was my ex-husband. I did all the wifely things WHILE still on active duty & even after I got out. I experienced a little of all aspects of being a wife & a Marine. And they are VERY appreciated throughout a Marines career, at enlistment ceremonies, at change of command ceremonies, etc … but. don’t entitle yourself to more than. you actually deserve! WE are the ones who do the heavy leg work & for those unmarried ones, They do it all on their own, so any grown ass man should be able to!
Wow.. when did this become bash the wives post?
Im pretty sure if you read all but one of the posts from wives you would see only one of us asks for freebies. ONLY ONE. The rest of us were defending ourselves from a person’s disrespect. No one ever said it was impossible. But see my job is to make my husband’s life better, and thats what I do.
Its pretty sad though when we wives give everything we have to our service members, and the military yet get no respect back. Send countless care packages to strangers, spend countless hours at the VA just talking to the injured to lift their spirits, give back to the military community . We deserve Respect. but its pretty sad when service members feel the need to talk to us like we are worthless. Since I guess many service members forget military wives are their biggest support system.
I DO earn my fair share, but i dont ask for handouts and never would even if i did wear the uniform. All I ask for is to be respected, and that Brandy did not respect the Military Wife.
All the wives just want a free subscription to match.com and adult friend finder while their husbands are gone.
Just be honest !
Omg this is too funny……but we r forgetting why we r celebrating this day, to all the Veterans who has fought or are fighting, and those who have lost their lives for us God bless and thank all of you for your services.
Our loyal wives felt the heat as well and deserve some recognition. USMC SEMPER FI
Our wives were a fudemental part of the war effort and no matter where I’m at my wife supports me. I love you for that. USMC SEMPER FI
Love our woman also! Thank You.
I wasn’t bashing military wives or anyone else. I was saying that there are things that spouses shouldn’t get. My wife agrees wit h me. My wife did everything while I was gone. She took care of my daughter while I was deployed as well as her daughter. She does not expect to get anything free all the time. And she doesn’t want free food that is meant for the vets and active duty soldiers. There was no bashing in my comment.
I’m a single Soldier, but I recognize that spouses do a lot for my married Brothers and Sisters. Because of this, I do believe they deserve some of the benefits. However, today is Veterans Day. Spouses, yes, in your own way, you are veterans, too. But not the kind of veterans today celebrates and remembers. I just ask everyone to please remember who today is for. Thank you.
I’m speaking from the perspective of an active duty wife, married to an active duty husband, who has been a military brat (of a major general) my entire life.
Why should ANY veteran receive free things? We all get paid very well for what we do as a PROFESSION. Many of our spouses do just as much work as we do, in support of us. One of my troops got deployed last Friday, for the first time since he has been divorced. He was tearful and overwhelmed at the volume of things he had to take care of on his own. Do not marginalized the role that dependent wives and mothers (and husbands and fathers) play in a service member’s duty, the same as you should not feel entitled to free things, simply because you do the job that you signed up to do, and get pay, housing, healthcare, and security for doing so.
Military wives have to spend their time cheating on their husbands while they are deployed. It’s a hard job… They deserve some benefits for the infidelity.
It’s easy to point fingers and say its easy for them. But all that infidelity is hard on a woman’s concience.
Since my husband left it has been lonely. I’ve had to find other men to fill that void in my life. It’s hard with him gone… But there are other men!
you are an idiot.
I second what Krystal said.
I agree fully. Army wives hold down the homefront, but in the end it is the soldiers who are the vets. It saddens me to see wives on so many pages complaining about not getting a free handout as well.
Being a military wife it makes me upset seeing all these women complaining all over online. It makes us wives look horrible and like we are only after hand outs. I married my husband to support him no matter where he is, not for handouts. Yes we go thru a lot but I married my husband knowing all the facts. This is a day to celebrate veterans past and present.
Thank u to all of u Veterans out there! I am proud of my husband every day and support him no matter how many thousands of miles apart we are apart.
Military life is an adventure, that is what we signed up for, the ups the downs & the risks. Fraternal greetings to all my military brothers & sisters; a big shout out to the wives and families as well that take a ride with us along this road. Although I’m not too sure what to make of Jessica’s input I believe her honesty ( although sad ), was just that the truth of what alot of military wives go through, sad, however honest. Hope you work that out within yourself. A big thank you to Chilies as well as the other participants in recognizing this great special day!
I am amazed at all the rediculous bickering. Veterans Day doesn’t have anything to do with free stuff. It’s a luxury but who gives a shit about the free stuff? How about the men and women who didn’t make it back? You think they’d care about a free meal or just to see their loves ones again? I am an Army veteran and I am pretty sure I am entitled to say that so is my wife and she has never worn the uniform but she still serves regardless of what any “military brat” says.
Thank.s also to Applebees, & Subway for your part in making Veterens Day special for our own Warriors.
If you were unloyal to your husband while he was away serving then you do not deserve to be a true military wife.
Amen
