Free Meals for Veterans On or About Veterans’ Day

Here is our annual list of all the various free meals that veterans can get.  I wanted to get this out a few days in advance so you can plan for where you want to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – or all three!  Use this as an excuse to take a veteran to a meal to thank him or her for their service.  If you know of other meal deals, please post them as a reply.

Note the date of each deal as they are not all on 11 November and several have specific times.  Be prepared to show an ID verifying you are eligible.  Pretty easy for those of us still serving, but veterans should show a Driver’s License with veteran status on it, or a VA card, even a DD214 should do.  Most of the time, they just take your word for it, but you don’t want to be called out in a restaurant because you couldn’t prove it.  Enjoy!
