Dear Editor:
Good Morning! Nov. 11th was Veterans’ Day and Applebee’s gave veterans and their wives a free meal as a way of thanking veterans for their service (I’m a USMC Vietnam veteran myself). The management and staff were great and I just wanted to publicly thank them for their generosity. Since moving to Pittsburg in 1994, I have lost track of how many people have thanked me for serving as a Marine, starting with JT Knoll. Prior to that, I recall only two people ever thanking me for serving. However, on a sad note: Did you know that approximately 2,200 veterans die every year because of a lack of health care coverage? Think about it! Thank you.
