Well, doesn't have to be in Claremore... but if you want free dinner, you'll have to go there.
Short story long, I was eating dinner with my wife the other day at Buddy's Grill in Claremore when a guy choked on his dinner, turned blue and passed out. After realizing he wasn't having a seizure or a heart attack, I actually did the Heimlich Maneuver on him (I was a little confused because I never knew that one could pass out so quickly when they choke, but this fella was OUT like a light in a matter of seconds!). I'll be danged if it didn't work just like they said it would...
Anyhow, I went back to my side of the diner and finished my meal. A few minutes later, he came up to me and thanked me and said he didn't even know what happened, that he actually didn't remember any of it, only what his wife told him. Anyway, he and his wife kindly bought our dinner and we parted ways.
Then when we were checking out, the waitress came to me and handed me this:
So, without further ado, I would like to pay this back, or forward (however you want to look at it) to a real Hero. No strings attached, if you feel like paying it forward and doing something for somebody else, great. I figure simply being a Serviceman or Veteran, you've already done that anyhow. Whoever wants it first can have it, just meet me sometime in the Verdigris area and pick it up, then go enjoy some food.
Y'all have a good night.
