Happy Veterans Day--Check out the Freebies!

Lovely, crisp morning run on this Veterans Day. There were a few road closures around the Lincoln Memorial that made it extra nice and quiet. 

USA Today featured an article, Vets can Rake in Freebies all day and all Night, listing some of the places that veterans can catch a break. Way to go Krispy Kreme, offering a free doughnut and small coffee. Several chain restaurants are mentioned--Olive Garden, Applebee's, Red Robin, etc.--I hope some of the local restaurants are also offering the same free meals.

Habitat for Humanity on the Mall

In order to raise awareness, Habitat for Humanity is framing seven houses on the Mall. Today is the last day (June 2 - 5). Check out the event web site, Habitat for Humanity Veterans Build.

I took this picture on my morning run--nice blue sky!
