'Sizzler is proud to honor our veterans. Can we honor your service with a steak, a Malibu chicken, or the jumbo crispy shrimp?'
I’m standing in front of the menu board at Sizzler with my dad, debating whether to add a mango lemonade to my steak lunch. The woman in front of us is haggling with the hostess taking her order, and she’s just emptied a pocketful of change onto the counter. They’re adding and subtracting toppings and side dishes, trying to get it all to add up. She doesn’t quite have enough for the steak and baked potato, but if she goes for the salad bar she can get a drink.
And yet, when he heard on local talk radio that Sizzler was offering vets a free steak lunch, he couldn’t resist. I didn’t quite understand the draw — we hadn’t been to Sizzler in over a decade — but I could tell he wanted some company. Plus, I wanted to see if they still had baby corn at the salad bar, so I went along.in 1958 with the American dream that anyone should be able to have a steak dinner at a price they could afford.
By the time she had finished upselling, my empathy for the previous customer’s struggle had grown as rapidly as the bill. Our free meal rung up for just under $40. In his first tour of duty he flew transport missions, running supplies and troops into battle and evacuating the wounded. In his second tour, he flew Cobras — attack helicopters loaded with machine guns, grenades, and rockets designed to cut through the brush and destroy anything underneath. Unlike the jets that were running bombing and napalm campaigns, Cobras flew low enough to see what — and who — they were leveling.
He would defend patriotism and protecting our country. I would snidely point out that it wasn’t Iraq who attacked us on 9/11.
