    I didn’t see this listed, but Menchies (frozen yogurt) is giving the first 6oz FREE to Veterans or active duty today. It does state you’ll need to show ID or proof of service. Locations here: https://www.menchies.com/yogurt-shop-our-locations

    My spouse and I (both career veterans) just returned from breakfast at the Village Inn. What a wonderful breakfast, great staff, and acknowledgement of our service. It has been a while since we have been to Village Inn, and now I only ask myself the question, Why have we waited so long?! We’ll be back as their orange crepes were to die for. Thank you to all who are currently serving and who have served. God Bless.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)
