JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - CuisineWire -- As the celebration of its 40^th anniversary continues, Woody's Bar-B-Q seeks to pay tribute to local police officers and fire fighters with a "God Bless the Blue" Day at its two corporate locations on Monday, November 2. From open to close at The ORIGINAL Woody's Bar-B-Q in Jacksonville and Woody's Bar-B-Q of Ponte Vedra Beach, uniformed police officers and fire fighters will receive a free meal from the classic southern BBQ chain's standard menu as thanks for their service.

"After 40 years in Jacksonville – with several more franchise locations throughout Florida – we've had to call upon our local firefighters and police officers for assistance on more than one occasion," said Yolanda Mills-Mawman, President and Co-founder of Woody's Bar-B-Q. "Not to mention the fact that a fair percentage of our customer base is made up by these brave first responders. My co-founder Woody and I would like to say thank you in the best way we know how – through the delivery of a great meal. We are so grateful for their commitment to keeping our communities safe. Woody's Bar-B-Q has always backed the blue – our two corporate locations extend a special discount to uniformed police officers every day – 50% off dine-in orders and 20% off take-out orders. We're hoping to see a sea of blue in both dining rooms on Monday, November 2 when their meal is on us."
