Bill and I at Bob Evans for his free meal on Veterans Day

Kim Reminder and Bill.  They were both dressed so nice that I had to take a picture.  Kim gave us a container of no bake cookies at church for Veterans Day.

Bill and his wonderful free meal at Logans

We went to Bob Evan's at 8 a.m. and Bill enjoyed his free breakfast.  I enjoyed my breakfast too.  We came home for about 20 minutes and then went to church.  Good service, worship and message.  After church, we went to the VA Hospital, and Bill did the color presentation for the Veteran's Appreciation Service.  It was so nice and the service was so meaningful to all the veterans at the hospital.  The Birch Run Band did an amazing job playing all the songs for the different branches of service.  After that we went to the State Theater and watched a documentary on the Vietnam War produced by Delta College.  It was so touching and a lot of the men who were in the documentary were there and told more about their time in Vietnam afterwards.  Bill also stood up and shared about his time in Vietnam.  Went to Logans for Bill's free meal afterward. Bill and I were talking about how amazingly nice all the workers and our server was. The manager came and asked us how everything was, and asked about Bill's Medallion, commenting that he looked like a president or something.  We shared about Bill being named Marine of the year for Saginaw.  The manager was super nice to us too.   At the end of our meal, our server brought the bill and told us the manager took care of both of our meals and beverages for us.  What a wonderful day celebrating and honoring veterans and enjoying the day with my veteran hero.  We went to Bed Bath and Beyond after that and Bill got a new pillow with his 25% off discount and an electric throw since his quit working.  We came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.
