Holiday Greetings From Washington Soldiers Abroad & Veterans Day Offers

by Michael van Baker on November 11, 2010

The Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS) alerted us that they’ve got some holiday greetings from Washington residents on duty for the Army and the Marines in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Two soldiers are from Yelm, one from Richland, one from Moses Lake, and one from Fort Lewis.

They’ve taped tiny little videos saying hello to the home front; if you’re from the area, you can send an E-card back by visiting the video page. 

It’s also Veterans Day, and while some things are open and some are closed, some businesses are giving back. Veterans can enjoy free meals, free car washes, free music, and free museums and parks. Veterans who get hungry on the go can pull into a Dick’s Drive-In, flash their military ID, and order a free hamburger.
