| #4 WHen my brother goes back to Iraq in December, I'm going to do what I did last year—go to Katz's Deli in NY and order him a couple of 4.5 lb. hard salamis with some mustard and a Katz's apron. As they've advertised since WWII, “Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army.” He and his airmen really appreciated it last year. |

| #3 Numbers 3 thru 7 may be ok for Applebees, but thanks to the latest Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), they're absolutely NO GOOD for shopping at a US BX/PX, shopette, or gas station in Europe. US Government employee Foreign Nationals, diplomatic service personnel, and NATO members are good-to-go however. 1. Valid Veteran and Active Duty Identification to Obtain Free Entree: 2. U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card 3. U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card 4. Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) 5. Veterans Organization Card (i.e., American Legion and VFW) 6. Photograph in uniform 7. Wearing uniform |

| #2 Brillant advertising. I don't know what it will cost them but they are sure to pick up some long-term customers. |

| #1 Kudos to Applebees. Maybe some other large (and small) business' will follow suit. |
