our military. ReVeterans Day is Nov. 11, and was created to honor all members of
our military. Restaurants are doing their part by offering complimentary
Veterans Day meals to veterans and active military. Many restaurants are
giving military members free or discounted food — a small way to say thank you
to those who serve or have served our country. Below, find some of the
restaurants where you can receive a free meal for Veterans Day if you're a past

Two notes before heading out to fill your tummy:
· Proof of Military Service. Most
companies require some form of military ID. These include: a Military ID Card (active/reserve/retired),
Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), Drivers License with Veterans
Designation, 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
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. We will do our
best to keep this page updated as we find new info.
Please call your local restaurant ahead of time to confirm
details, as some franchises may have different policies. Also please look for
