As you know, this Friday (11.11.11) is Veterans Day. This is a time to celebrate veterans from all services and conflicts. According to the 2010 US Census, there are nearly 22-million veterans in the United States. That’s a lot of brave souls. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. If you are active-duty and you have the luxury of an extended weekend coming up, enjoy it to its fullest.
As has become tradition over the years, many businesses are offering special discounts, sales, and freebies to veterans and active-duty service members alike this week. The Army has published an article about some of the various offerings. At the prompting of AskTOP SME Becky Pillsbury, I’ve pulled out some of the highlights below for your convenience. The original article can be found here: Businesses offer free meals, deals on Veterans Day. Thanks for the tip, Becky!
This list will be updated if we stumble across any more good offers.
