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

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

#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.

#4 WHen my brother goes back to Iraq in December, I'm going to do what I did last yeargo 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.
