We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: DD-214 and Applebees restaurant

Gents: My daughter works at Applebees and told me to drop in for a free Veterans "thank you" meal on Tuesday. She said any type proof of being a veteran would qualify.

I started thinking what "proof" ID I could show at Applebees, and remembered that I have been carrying around a laminated DD-214 in my wallet since the day I was discharged and left Travis AFB in 1966. I recall a sergeant putting the fear of God in to me when he handed me the laminated DD-214 card, with words to the effect that if I ever took that card out of my wallet he would hunt me down and that I would therefore still be in the Air Force! It worked! I still have it, sarge, though it's tattered around the edges a little, but then again, so am I.
