It's Veteran's Day! Unlike Memorial Day, Veteran's Day is to honor everyone who's served in the military, regardless of whether they served in wartime or died in battle.

There are a lot of discounts and freebies for vets today.

A couple of things to keep in mind before diving into the list: most places will require proof of service, and not all franchises will participate. Best to check in advance.
