A Free Farrell’s Thank You Sundae!

May is National Military Appreciation Month, and to celebrate Farrell's is honoring brave servicemen and servicewomen by treating them to a deliciously all-American, Red, White and Blue Thank You Sundae! 

You read that right, it’s free to all past and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces. You’ll have to hurry, this limited edition sundae is only available during the month of May and, again for Veteran’s Day.

The sundae is made with 2-scoops of vanilla ice cream, strawberry and blueberry compote, whipped cream, a cherry, and Ol' Glory, herself, on top (of course).  Through the entire month of May, and U.S. military personnel, past or present, who show their valid Military I.D. will receive "Thank You" Sundae at Farrell’s in Brea Downtown, Buena Park, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, Mission Viejo, Sacramento, Santa Clarita, or Honolulu.

Not in the military, but still want in on this delicious bit of Americana? Don’t worry! Civilians may also purchase this limited edition Thank You Sundae for $7.99 with one dollar from each purchase going to the A Million Thanks organization, a 501c3 non-profit military support charity.

In addition, for the month of May, we'll have blank “thank you” notes that children and adults alike can draw and/or write a "Thank You" note to a U.S. Service Member. At the end of the month, with the help of A Million Thanks, we will send every letter to active military men and women serving our country at military bases around the world.

National Military Appreciation Month, H. Con. Res. 328, was passed in April of 2004 by unanimous consent of both Houses of Congress. This important and timely legislation tells our service members that their country has set aside an entire month to honor, remember and appreciate them. For more National Military Appreciation Month activities or events, go HERE.

There  is no purchase necessary. A valid military photo ID must be presented to receive the free sundae. All promotional details and a list of accepted IDs can be found at FarrellsUSA.com

Ta ta for now...save money and have a free sundae if you're in the Military. Thank you for your service!
