Boca Raton, FL – Americans flocked to local malls Monday to honor World War II, Vietnam, and other veterans who risked their lives to protect and defend their country. Macy’s led off the celebration by offering 50% off Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Perry Ellis ties. Not to be outdone, Bath and Body Works offered a buy two, get one free special on its signature collection of warm vanilla sugar, cherry blossom, and coconut lime verbena bubble baths. While Burberry refused to offer a sale, the Burberry outlet in the Sawgrass Mills Mall offered select customers a free Burberry umbrella with a minimum purchase of $200. “Our sales send a clear message that we support our troops and honor the sacrifices of those who have given their lives,” said Pottery Barn Store Manager Mindy Lenson, who reminded Pretzel reporter Sushi Ascano that the store is offering 20% off floor lamps and wall sconces. A group of male patrons dining on chicken fried rice in the food court suggested erecting a Victoria’s Secret model statue in front of the mall to salute "the most important freedoms" our troops protect. President Bush visited the Tomb of the Unknown where he said he would honor the memory of King Tut.
