That is nice.The owner of the laundry service we use just called to offer to do any sheets I send in on Thursday for free after seeing the clip on the news this morning. He's a vet..
That is great! ANd that is what makes it so special and will produce many memories on both sides I am sure.Honestly if it were me, I would be inclined to just give them every room free for the night.I sent the link to all who are participating. I just got this from The Manor Inn
Just want to share this...
A woman (name deleted) saw the news about this special on Ch 25 news last night and called this morning to see if we still had openings (we do)...her husband returns from Iraq tomorrow (Thursday) after being away 12 months - this is his 3rd tour of duty - they have 4 children - and through tears (her & I both!) she thanked me over & over again for offering this - I said we cannot thank her husband enough and so glad he is coming home!
Great job Kathleen for coming up with this one!!

This story alone makes it worth the effort..

Thank you. I got a call tonight for 1 room. She could not believe it when I said it was free. Her husband is National Guard. Our National Guard has been deployed and redeployed. She said her husband was due to deploy and the orders were canceled. They are also first-timers so I get a change to do a conversion.....Hats off to you, Kathleen, Good job!.
Thank you all. There were 7 other B & Bs in the mox. All but 2 either had guests or they (Vets) had to cancel for some reason. for a total of 9. I have e-mailed Jay Karen and he is on board to try to make this nationwide in 2010. This is the little acorn the mighty oak is going to grow from - I hope!WOOHOO! Great video Kathleen! Way to go our own Gillum House. Laurel Lodge and Thomas Shepard Inn!!!!!!.
This is really, really awesome. I would love to get involved for next year.Thank you all. There were 7 other B & Bs in the mox.

Great! All I ask is that at least one room is available free for someone with a valid military ID. I know it excludes people like my brother who did 10 years in the Marines and got out, but we have to have a mechanism to keep it for the people who earned it (or are earning it) and protect us from the scamming slugs.This is really, really awesome.
