SPANISH FORT, Ala. — The Original Oyster House restaurants will honor Mobile and Baldwin County law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics and sheriff’s officers with a free lunch on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at either Original Oyster House location, on the Causeway in Mobile or in the Original Oyster House Boardwalk in Gulf Shores.

“We promised we would not forget and we have not forgotten the brave men and women that not only went above and beyond that tragic day in history but continue to serve and protect each and every day,” a restaurant spokesperson said. “We want to honor you those who rush into situations the rest of us flee. Because of your sacrifice, we are safe to go about our daily lives. Thank you. We are offering all first responders: law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics and sheriff’s personnel a free lunch on Sept. 11, 2010, only.

“Just show your ID or, better yet, wear your uniform so we may recognize you with a handshake or pat on the back. It’s the least we can do for you, as you do so much for us.”
