Plenty of restaurants have meal deals available for this year’s Veterans Day that are well worth the trip for retired vets, active-duty military and their families.
In celebration of Veterans Day on November 11, a variety of restaurants will be offering free and discounted meals.
Veterans Day is a day when Americans honor soldiers who have served the country. November 11 was the chosen date, as it was the day when the truce was signed to end World War I in 1918.
In 2022, it was estimated that 6.2% of America’s population are Veterans. With so many men and women having served their country, restaurants found a tasty way to give back to them.
