I am sure all of you have heard that Applebees Restaurant is offering a free meal to soldiers and veterans. Of course Golden Corral is offering this and doing it again this year also. If you like the Outback steakhouse, they are offering a free bloomin’ onion appetizer and drink to all veterans. If you live in Western New York, Delta Sonic is offering free car washes to service-members and veterans on Wednesday also.

Here at Bouhammer’s Afghan and Military Blog, we have the Gullistan, Afghanistan ETT Team T-shirt still on pre-order through Wednesday and then it will start getting printed. You can learn more at www.bouhammer.com/2009/10/new-ett-team-t-shirt-design-available-for-pre-order/.

Also, the Valour-IT initiative is still on-going and we are trying to get Team Army in the Lead. The drive for Valour-IT is going strong, but we need more support to get laptops, Wiis, and GPSes into the possession of many wounded warriors who are suffering from their wounds and trying to recover. Don’t forget that I am willing to contribute all profits from any Bouhammer hat or embroidered shirts to Valour-IT, that are sold through Veteran’s Day. More details at www.bouhammer.com/2009/10/valour-it-kicks-off-today/.

Stay tuned as I have another big announcement coming soon that deals with helping the victim’s families in Fort Hood, TX.
