1. PLACES ACROSS THE NATION VETERANS
CAN GET FREE MEALS AND DISCOUNTS
THIS VETERANS DAY
This Veterans Day, veterans and active-duty military can take advantage of an
extra day of deals. As they do each year, restaurants are saluting veterans by
offering free food and meal deals.
Thanks to the federal holiday falling on Sunday, it's officially observed
Monday. This leads to a split with some businesses showing their appreciation
Sunday and others Monday.
Proof of service such as a military ID is typically required and a few
businesses will allow dressing in uniform as a form of identification. Discharge
papers, VA cards and veteran organization membership cards also can be
used to prove service at most businesses.
