Once again this year, national chain restaurants and other businesses are thanking our veterans and active military members on Veterans Day with FREE or discounted food or services on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2017.
Some deals are available for veterans only, while others are valid for both vetarans and active military personnel, and some deals are valid the day before or day after Veterans Day.
Proof of military status is required for most offers, so if you aren’t in uniform, be prepared to show an ID verifying your service.
And everybody in the USA, veteran or not gets FREE admission to National Park Service sites on Saturday and Sunday, Veterans Day and Nov. 12.
Free food and drink
Offers don’t usually cover gratuity and tax. Participation may vary, so be sure to check with your local restaurant to confirm that they’ll be offering the Veterans Day special.
