For the past several years, the GC in Johnson City has had a free buffet
dinner (drink included) for veterans on Veterans' Day, not on any other day. 
From what I understand, that's something the corporation does and most
franchises participate.

I discovered that Ryan's Buffet does a free lunch for vets on Veterans' Day
too.

That's a kind gesture.  I have been on the receiving end and the giving end
of that.  Back after I had my car accident in 2008 and received the
settlement, my then-wife and I were out somewhere (I don't remember now) and
there was a very large family sitting around a table celebrating their loved
one's basic training graduation and his promotion to Specialist (E-4) at the
same time.  I called the waitress over and asked if their check had been
made.  She told me it had, so I slipped her my credit card and told her to
please settle it with me.  She did so, my wife and I left, and the waitress
told them that a veteran had picked up the bill in thanks for the young
man's service.

I sincerely hope he went on to do great things.
