A guesthouse in West Virginia introduced the idea of providing free rooms to veterans and free breakfast the following morning on Veteran's Day, said Kulkowitz.
"There were thousands of bed and breakfasts' all over America and different countries that decided to honor the veterans, so last night we gave up our hotel for all the veterans and had a great evening with people from all different generations, Korea, second world war, Vietnam, present day Coast Guard," he said.
His father is a veteran of World War II. Kulkowitz said he had 40 veterans at the hotel and between 60 and 100 guests for dinner. Cape May Film Festival filmed a video of the event.
This is the first time Kulkowitz participated in the free stays and breakfasts. He holds an annual Battle of the Bulge luncheon which is schedule this year for December 15.

Mark Kulkowitz has always been a stand-up guy and I applaud him for showing such respect for veterans. I'm already a die-hard Mad Batter/Carroll Villa fan, but it's decisions like this that remind me why I like the place so much. A lot of people say they support veterans but the Kulkowitz family has put their money where their mouth is and took a financial loss in the name of respect and appreciation. As a disabled veteran myself, it means a lot. Thank you.
