Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Bailey's gives Veterans and Active Duty members of the Armed Forces a 10% discount on all purchases. We'd also like to encourage you to give thanks to our Veterans and Active Duty Service members. An easy way to do that is join us and the folks from Wildcat Brothers Rum at Gator Cove tommorrow from 3-6PM. We'll have rum, food, cigars, games, raffles, vendors and fun - all in an effort to raise money for the Acadiana Veterans Alliance!
Leave some time to join us and bring along your favorite Veteran.
Check out these reads for a bit of lagniappe:
Here's the history of Veterans Day from the VA.
Holt's has a nice article about premium cigars and the military.
Here's a great article from CA about Operation Deployed and Cigars for Warriors. Here's the link for Cigars for Warriors.
Here are two good articles about WWII Veterans and their premium cigar smoking - one from CA and another from the Los Angeles Times.
Finally, times have changed and our active duty military is much more diverse and all volunteer (once again). These people enter military service for a variety of reasons. They all, though deserve our thanks and to be treated with respect. Here are two seldom used quotes presented as thanks:
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” —Mark Twain
“We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf.” —George Orwell
