The muddy rudder has received its reward.

....in the eyes of men.

Thank you to the staff who probably had to work for next to nothing . They should get the award !

I wish to thank the Muddy Rudder and every other restaurant who participated in the meals for Veterans...simply awesome. It is wonderful to have the members and past members of our armed forces be both recognized and respected as they most assuredly deserve. I had 5 brothers and each served his country proudly. I was a young adult in the Vietnam era and I well remember how they were treated when they arrived back to their country...simply heartbreaking. I thank each and every person who served our wonderful country and helped to protect my safety and my rights. God Bless each of you.

My father said he had heard that Applebee's was doing something similar. He said that he would feel guilty taking money from them when they were a corporation and didn't owe him any of their hard earned money. I think he was trying to be funny.

Thank You Muddy Rudder. Veterans were nicely treated and a few photos were taken of happy customers.

I participated in Muddy Rudder's free meals to veterans- it was simply heartbreaking and heart warming. Watching strangers walking amongst strangers and thanking for their service (among other veterans). The crew of Muddy Rudder deserve more than an award- they deserve a free meal themselves. I think it would have been awesome to have done a survey perhaps of what branch they were in, what war they served in (if any), and how long in the military they were in, and perhaps where from Maine they come from. Just a little bit of statistical fun. Thank you Muddy Rudder!!! The scallops were simply delicious!

Lets stop focusing on Muddy Rudder. Yes it was a great gesture but congressional honor? How many other places didn't feel the need to advertise for the sake of thier company name and instead welcomed and honored all of our VETS. Muddy Rudder gave away a lot of food but also made a lot of money for drinks, desserts and non VET guests. There should be no congrerssional honor. The award is knowing everyday someone is protecting this country and thanking God we have those great Vets and those in active duty protecting us each day.

I'm gald the Vets who attended Muddy Rudder enjoyed thier meals as they should but please don't think Muddy Rudder was the only ones who honored you with this kind gesture. Like most Vets many places gave in silence.

Thanks, Muddy Rudder

Dear "seriouslynow",

Having a bad day? There's always someone who sees the glass half empty rather than half full. The Muddy Rudder ought to be commended (and was). There's nothing wrong with advertizing. How else would they have been able to give away 700 meals? By the way, 700 meals is a big dent to the profit margin. This was a selfless act by a fine establishment and should be recognized as such. The veterans (and I'm one) appreciated it.

Thank you, Muddy Rudder!

I wish to thank the staff at the rudder whom worked very hard on Veterans Day. My dad is retired militery and being a veteran myself I was proud to be a part of Veterans Day.
