What is Veterans Day
On Veterans Day, various businesses in the United States offered freebies or discounts to military veterans and active duty service members as a way of honoring and thanking them for their service. These freebies could include things like free meals at restaurants, free admission to museums or theme parks, and discounts on merchandise. The specific offers and promotions varied by business, but they were generally available only to veterans and service members who could provide proof of their military service.
Some of the most popular freebies offered on 2013 included free meals at restaurants like Applebee’s, Chili’s, and Denny’s, as well as free coffee at participating Starbucks locations. Other businesses offered free admission to museums, theme parks, and other attractions, while some offered discounts on merchandise or services.
