Veterans Day 2014: an exhaustive list of freebies and discounts
Tuesday, November 11th is聽Veterans Day, so we at Brad's Deals would like to take a moment and thank the brave men and women who make up the United States military for their service, their sacrifices and their courage.
As a symbol of this聽country's deep appreciation for our veterans, active service members, reservists聽and retired military members, many businesses offer free meals,聽deals and discounts to service members on Veterans Day. We've聽compiled a list of this year's聽best Veterans Day freebies.
Remember, in order to receive these offers you may need to provide聽proof of military service.听This can be done in the following ways:
- Wear聽your uniform
- Bring a picture of yourself in uniform
- Present a US Uniform Services ID card
- Present a current Leave and Earnings Statement
- Present a Veterans Organization Card (American Legion or VFW)
- Present discharge paperwork
Many establishments won't be very strict on this, but it's always best to be prepared. It's also a good idea to call ahead before redeeming a free meal or discount on Veterans Day as some chain locations may not be participating in these promotions.
