Veteran's day discounts

[TheMan 45]

First off, I would like to thank each and every individual who has served in our great military. I am a Veteran myself and appreciate the commitment you have made to honoring our great nation. I would also like to thank these companies for honoring all of us by providing a great meal and recognizing our service. Thanks, I really appreciate you.

 

Veterans Day Discounts

Two notes before jumping in:

Proof of Military Service. First, most companies require some form of military ID – including a U.S. Uniform Services ID Card (active/reserve/retired), Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), Photograph in uniform, be wearing uniform (if your service permits), Veterans Organization Card (e.g., American Legion and VFW), DD214, discharge paperwork, or other form of identification. Other restaurants and companies may only require a photo of you in uniform, or go by the honor system.

Participation. Second, always call ahead to verify locations, times, and participation. Many of the listed companies are franchises and may have different policies.
