Veterans Day is a special occasion when we come together to honor and show our appreciation for the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. military. Many businesses and organizations also join in this celebration by offering exclusive discounts, deals, and freebies to veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.
Most businesses require proof of service, such as military ID or DD-214. Membership cards for veteran service organizations and state-issued IDs with veteran designation may also suffice. When in doubt, call ahead to find out what you need.
