Rico’s Bar and Grill continues long-standing Veterans Day tradition

GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY — Establishments across Northern Michigan offered complimentary meals and services on Veterans Day to express gratitude to military veterans for their service. Businesses including Rico’s Bar and Grill and TC Man Cave in Traverse City hosted special offerings for veterans and their families. At Rico’s Bar and Grill, veterans autographed an American flag upon entry before sitting down for a free meal. The yearly tradition originated in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks, when former owner Rick Dubro and his spouse sought to unite the local community. Current proprietor David Waskiewicez has maintained the tradition and noted that his employees anticipate the event throughout the year. “There wasn’t ever a thought that crossed my mind that this wouldn’t be something that I carried on,” Waskiewicez said. “It’s such a respected and special event.

That’s what this is about.” For attending service members, the gathering provides an opportunity to reconnect and share memories. “Brings back a lot of memories,” Dan Balcom,
