Monday, November 11, 2024, is Veterans Day and many fast-food and casual-dining restaurant chains will be honoring the brave men and women of our military with a free meal, deal, and/or special.
In case it’s helpful, I’ve put together a list of Veterans Day 2024 deals and specials.
Some things to note:
- You’ll typically need to show a valid military ID or other proof of service to redeem the offers.
