There are many ways to honor former service members on Veterans Day — parades, salutes, all-you-can eat pancakes or a free cup of (G.I.) joe.
To mark Veterans Day on Monday, Nov. 11, restaurants around the country are offering free or discounted food. Some offers are strictly for vets; others include active-duty and retired troops. Call ahead to make sure your local places are participating, especially at overseas locations — and ask what you need to bring to identify yourself. Many will ask for a DD-214 or other proof of service — or you can come in uniform!
Check to make sure what exactly is included in the offers. For example, beverages and gratuities are often not covered at eateries.
Here’s a look at a few meals and deals. All are good Nov. 11 unless otherwise noted.
And don’t forget the waitstaff — tips are a good thing every day of the year.
