Thank a vet on Veterans Day by telling them about these free offers and discounts.

Veterans Day is an important American holiday, a time for us to pay tribute to the men and women of the U.S. armed forces who have served nobly and risked their lives for our freedoms. While it’s great to talk to, thank, and even hug any veterans you known on Tuesday, November 11, I’m pretty sure they would also appreciate a greater gift…free stuff! 

So in a campaign to pay homage to U.S. veterans and active military personnel, these companies are offering their meals, products, and services either at a discount or in most cases, for free. Make sure to forward this blog on to any veterans you know, and let them know we also appreciate their service!
