Today, November 16, 2009, Golden Corral hosted Military Appreciation Dinner.  It opened its doors to all who have served in the military.  As a military retiree myself, I took the opportunity to visit the Golden Corral Buffet and Grill on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, NM.  And what a surprise they had in store for us.  First of all, we were greeted by volunteers from local ROTC.  Each veteran was given a tag displaying a Gold Star on top of a silver banner stating "I Served" and surrounding it was a navy blue background with simple message from Golden Corral, "We thank the men & women of the U.S. Military."  

As I stood in line, I observed hundreds of veterans and their families walking in to dine. There were some in uniform, others like me, who looked like ordinary americans, then there were the disabled, who were bussed in.  Everyone was welcomed with opened arms.   

As we approached the dining area, we were greeted by a cashier then we were seated.  The aroma was magnificient!  I knew then, that I had to have a steak. Golden Corral grills some of the best steaks in Albuquerque.  I was impressed.  It was grilled to taste.  For me, there are few cuisines that can top a well done steak with baked sweet potatoes.  I was satisfied! Thanks to Golden Corral, it was their way of saying thank you.

As I made my way around the restaurant, I chatted with quite a few of the patrons.  There was Michael from the National Guard, Eva and her family, Navy veteran, John, an Active Duty Air Force Staff Sergeant, they all had the same thing to say, Golden Corral made them feel special today.

Today, Golden Corral gets an A+ for a genuine display of gratitude.  There were no half measures.  They went all out.  On behalf of all who have served.  Thank you to Golden Corral

Hi Lenn and John:

Golden Corral certainly put forth a genuine effort to convey their thanks to military members.  It is very commendable.

We just can't do enough for our military to thank them for all they do and for their sacrifices.  God bless them and those who help them.  AMEN
