Veterans Day: Freebies in Honor of our Veterans

Veterans Day

In order to focus on something positive, I am again posting some of the freebies available to our Veterans and active military this year. While I am sure the list is not absolutely complete, as many local businesses offer gifts and meals to veterans, I hope you find this a good place to begin. From restaurants to national parks, there is something in here that hopefully will appeal to everyone. Thank you Veterans for all that you have done in keeping our country free.

IHOP –  On November 11, participating IHOP Restaurants offer veterans and active duty military free Red, White and Blue pancakes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Veterans and active duty military must show proof of military service to receive their free Red, White & Blue pancakes.
