Just a reminder that tonight is the night Golden Corral restaurants will honor military veterans with a free buffet.

Tonight, Golden Corral will serve free dinner buffets with beverage from 5 to 9 p.m. to any person who is or has served in a United States Military branch, including the National Guard and Reserves.

And just when you thought the veteran freebies were over...

Karl Murphy, owner of the two Carolina Auto Spa and Express Car Wash stores, is extending an offer he made for veterans through Saturday because of our recent rainy weather.

The offer: a complimentary car wash to all active duty, veterans and National Guard members during normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. That's an inside and outside wash valued at $28. All you need to do is identify yourself as a military member or veteran.

Carolina Auto Spa has two locations: 1370 NW Maynard Road, Cary and 900 E. Williams St., Apex.

Also, remember the Golden Corral free dinner buffet for veterans is coming up on Monday.

Companies just can't stop lining up to give free stuff to veterans on Wednesday. Here's another one:

Three of our area Dunkin Donuts will be giving free coffee to vets on Wednesday. All that's required is an ID that identifies you as a veteran.

 The stores are:

*2740 NC 55, Cary
*3570 Davis Dr., Morrisville
*2727 Capital Blvd., Raleigh

One more to add to the list:

Krispy Kreme will give all veterans and active military personnel a free doughnut of their choice on Wednesday.

Share the sugary love.
