Businesses Honor Those Who Served with Meals, Discounts

VeteransDay2015posterThe servicemen and women who step up and voluntarily put their lives on the line to keep us safe deserve our support and respect 365 days a year.  However, one week from today marks the annual day when people across the nation honor those who serve.

Veterans Day 2015 is Wednesday, 11 November and, as usual, many businesses are saying “thank you” by offering free meals, discounts, and more.  The list below details some of these offers.

Note that, although many of these offers are from nationwide chains, participation and details may vary from store to store.  Those wishing to make use of the offers should verify ahead of time to ensure that your location is participating in the offer.  Additionally, some proof of service is usually required, so be prepared to produce a military ID, separation documents such as a DD-214, or other documentation.
