How your restaurant can make a difference this Veterans Day

 On a day that comes only once in a 100 years, 11/11/11, every restaurant will have the opportunity to contribute to the lives of those who served or currently serve us every day. Recognizing their sacrifice this Veterans Day, we have listed 10 ideas that can inspire any restaurant to make a difference in the lives of our military personnel.
1. Offer your customers for every dessert or appetizer they purchase, to donate a portion of the sales to USO or Wounded Worrier Project.
2. Create a specialty Veterans Day menu and drinks and give discounts to veterans, active military soldiers, and their families.
3. Follow Applebee's example and give out free meals to veterans.
4. Organize Veterans Day charity for your community.
5. Make and give out Veterans Day coupons.
6. Put up a board in your restaurant where customers can leave a "Thank You" note to soldiers.
7. Offer free cooking classes to veterans and their families.
8. Organize and collaborate with other restaurants in your area to help educate and advice veterans or retired soldiers how to better prepare for a job in the restaurant industry.
9. Contact and donate food to local charities involved in Veterans Day events.
10. Become a sponsor at a local Veterans Day event.
 What would you do this Veterans Day to honor those who fought or are still fighting for us?
