Joe sent me the template this morning. I am working on building an e-mail group list to send it out (guess who was not smart enough to build it as they came in.). In the mean time - here it is for those participating to copy/paste. Be sure to find all the <info> places.

BED & BREAKFASTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
TO HONOR U.S. MILITARY
<Fill in Dateline/Locations> – Hundreds of Bed and Breakfasts are providing free rooms on Wednesday, November 10th, in observance of Veterans Day (November 11) to honor men and women currently serving in the military, as well as those or who have served their country in the past. Over 200 inns in 39 states and Canada have donated rooms for this holiday promotion.
The program was started in 2009 by the West Virginia B&B Association. “We just wanted to say thank you to the courageous men and women from our armed forces”, says Kathleen Panek, owner of the Gillum House in Shinnston, West Virginia and originator of the concept. “These are trying times for anyone serving or who has served and a good night’s rest is our way to say, thank you.”
<Name of B&B> in <Location> is taking part in the Veterans Day promotion. “This is the best way for us to honor this country’s military members”, says <name>, owner of the <name of B&B>. “Not enough people realize what our serviceman and women face on a day to day basis in addition to those who have already put their lives on the line for our country and we are happy for them to stay with us as we celebrate Veterans Day.”
[COLOR= black]Bed and breakfast inns are smaller hospitality businesses that offer a more personal touch than standard motels or hotels. All rooms have private bathrooms, comfortable beds, and beautifully decorated areas for relaxation or conversation. Known for their great breakfasts and personalized service, B&Bs are a perfect way to enhance a getaway. [/COLOR]
Reservations need to be made directly with the participating inns. A valid military or Veterans Administration ID will be required for each reservation. Each participating Bed and Breakfast is making at least one room available on the night of November 10 and availability is limited to a first come first serve basis.
