    Guess our Veteran military photo ID doesn’t count?
    I heard all the places that do this are too packed anyway, but thanks for the info.

  4. Phil says:

    Dan, that is all I have outside of my DD-214 where ever that is? I haven’t used it for anything in 6 years and even that was a replacement to one lost in a move.

    I’m not complaining, just making a point clear. Most older Vets can’t find there DD-214.

  5. Phil - they also said they would not turn down someone if they did not have a military ID.

    Go get your meal - you deserve it and more.
