servicemembers for their service with a free blooming onion appetizer and

offer stating that it is available at participating locations – so be sure to
call first to determine if your local Outback Steak House is offering this
scrumptious food freebie.

membership card (VFW, American Legion), a photograph showing you in your
military uniform, and current ID cards for active or retired military.

Uno Chicago Grill Veteran’s Day Food Freebie:  Free Entree or Individual Pizza

Bring a date to cash in on this Veteran’s Day food freebie.  On Veteran’s
Day, Uno Chicago Grill is offering Veterans and military service members
their choice of a free entree or individual pizza.  The fine print on this
freebie is that it is free with the purchase of an entree or pizza purchase
of equal or lesser value.  Still, a buy one get one free meal is just as good
considering that other restaurants are offering free meals for veterans and
military, but not other members of their party on Veteran’s Day.

Proof of service is also required for this food freebie, so be sure to show
up at an Uno Chicago Grill on November 11th prepared to show proof of service
to our country.  This can be accomplished by providing ID showing your active
military/retired status, a veteran’s club membership, wearing your uniform or
bringing a picture of yourself in your uniform.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2009 – Deployed and hospitalized servicemembers are expected to make about 120,000 calls home this Veterans Day, and it won’t cost them one thin dime.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars organization is once again offering “Free Call Day” through its Operation Uplink program. USAA, which offers financial services to servicemembers, is sponsoring the day of free phoning, which is expected to total some 1 million minutes.

“We are very pleased to join forces with USAA, an association recognized as a devoted friend and advocate of the military community, to offer a special Veterans Day Free Call Day,” said Dan Shea, director of the VFW Foundation. “Calling home, even for a few brief minutes, is a tremendous morale boost for our soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen, and helps families stay connected despite deployments.”

Servicemembers can visit one of nearly 900 Internet cafes in Iraq and Afghanistan between midnight and 11:59 p.m. Iraq time to place their free call home. Callers will need a SPAWAR prepaid personal identification number. The PINs can be obtained by visiting the SPAWAR site, http://www.oif.spawareurope.net/index.htm. SPAWAR is a contractor that provides voice-over-Internet phone service for deployed forces.

In other locations where a PIN number has been requested, the free calls also will be available at hospitals and morale, welfare and recreation service centers on bases worldwide. Users will have to make their calls between the same hours Iraqi time, as well.

Internet café managers may have a PIN available for non-account holders to use on Nov. 11 only.

“At USAA … it is our privilege to support the VFW’s Operation Uplink, which gives [servicemembers] an opportunity to hear their loved ones’ voices, helping ease the burden of separation that military service often requires,” said retired Navy Rear Adm. John Townes, vice president of military affairs for USAA. “As we expand our business to serve many more military veterans, we look forward to additional opportunities to work with the VFW to help those who serve our nation as well as those who have served.”

The VFW launched Operation Uplink in 1996. It has contributed more than 105 million minutes of free calling time to U.S. servicemembers. The program works exclusively with DRS Technical Services to provide the Free Call Day program.
