SAN DIEGO, California — Members of the Southern California Veterans Alliance got a big surprise this afternoon after their Veterans Day lunch outing to Golden Corral turned into a live giveaway special for the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Entering the restaurant, the group of 27 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans appeared bewildered by cameras and sound equipment until Oprah Winfrey emerged from behind the Nacho Cheese Waterfall.

“You get a free Southwest Sizzle Egg Roll, and you get a free Southwest Sizzle Egg Roll! Everybody who went to war gets a free Southwest Sizzle Egg Roll,” exclaimed Oprah, while reaching into a steaming buffet tin of Southwest Sizzle Egg Rolls and tossing them to the cheering heroes.
