Veterans Day Deals: Best Freebies And Offers For 2015

Active duty and retired military personnel are honored for their service on Veterans Day 2015 (that's Wednesday, November 11!)  with a slew of eat for free offers, plus free hair cuts, free oil changes and other discounts.

Proof of service is usually required to redeem a Veterans Day freebie, and can include your military ID, wearing your uniform for active duty personnel, discharge papers, or a Veterans Affairs card.

Most offers do not require coupons or additional purchases unless otherwise noted, and most are available nationally unless otherwise stated. Call ahead to your nearest location to verify participation before you head out!
