Tons Of Veterans Day Freebies And Discounts

As Veterans Day approaches this Monday, November 11th one way that local businesses say, "Thank you for your service" is with offering free meals, free coffee, discounts and specials for our men and women that served in our armed forces.

Most businesses that are offering freebies and discounts will require some kind of documentation of your service. Also, restaurants that offer Veterans Day specials fill up very quickly so you might want to make a reservation or call ahead.
