Here's a nice list of 2018 Memorial Day freebies and deals for military personnel and their families!

Many of these offers will be available for active-duty and retired personnel as well as veterans.  Some are also even open to first responders like police, firefighters and EMTs!

If you know of a good military freebie or discount that I missed, please let me know so I can add it to the following list:

  • Blue Star Museums -- F R E E admission to a multitude of museums around the country for active-duty service members.
  • Golden Corral – Enjoy a F R E E Memorial Day Sunrise Breakfast buffet at participating restaurants.  I couldn't find a list of which locations are hosting this, so my best advice is to call your local restaurant for more information.
  • Hooters -- Military service members can enjoy a F R E E entree from the Hooters Memorial Day Menu, with drink purchase, at any participating Hooters location across the U.S. on Monday, May 28, 2018.  Military ID is required.

  • Patriotic Pops San Antonio -- Military, police, firefighters and EMTs can snag 50% off admission on May 25 or May 26 to the San Antonio Symphony Pops performance at the Tobin Center.  I took my retired Air Force dad to this several years ago and he loved it!
