Before we get to the very long list of freebies, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the men and women who have served in the United States military (including my dad) and those who are still serving! I deeply appreciate your service to our country!

In honor of Veterans Day, many companies are offering freebies or discounts on Sunday and Monday. As with all freebies like this, it is a good idea to call ahead to see if your restaurant or store is a participating location.

Some locations are offering deals on Sunday, some are offering them on Monday and some are offering them on both days. I have divided the deals out by day and then alphabetically. Please share any other Veterans Day deals you find! Enjoy!
