Today is Veterans Day here in the United States. It’s a day we take to honor those who have before and are now serving our country. No matter the branch of the military, these men and women put our nation before their lives.

Obviously we should give them the utmost respect every day of the year for the sacrifices they and their families make to keep America safe and free, but Veterans Day is the one official day as designated by our government.

I’m not sure exactly when this became a regular thing, but now several national restaurants chains and other businesses are joining in to say “Thank you” in their own way by offering free food and discounted food and services to our military vets.

The Military Wallet website has a very long list of establishments that are offering up everything from free meals to free appetizers to free donuts. In addition to food, lots of amusement parks and even our national parks are offering free entry to those who have served.

So if PopFi can’t offer our veterans free Crazy Bread as a way to say thank you for your service, at least we can’t point  them in the right direction for a day filled with free food and likely handshakes and pats on the back for all they do for our great nation.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
