Veteran’s Day

Posted by James  Published in Articles
I know this information is a bit long and I don’t know how many veterans/active duty/guard/
reserve you actually have subscribed to your news letter, but I’m sure they probably know
someone who is.  Here is some information about businesses saying thank you for their
service.
There are three restaurants having free meals for veterans/active duty on different days around
the Veteran’s Day holiday.  The meal is only free for the veteran/active duty member so any
accompanying folk would have to pay for their meal unless of course, they are also a veteran/
active duty member.  It does include the Guard and Reserves and there is a list below of what
they will accept as proof of service.  Restaurant info below.
Note:  if one of the restaurants is near you but is not listed as participating, call your local
restaurant and ask them why not.  You may find out that they are participating but didn’t
get on the list.  This happened with Applebee’s.  Our local restaurant wasn’t listed and my
husband called them up, we’re both military retirees, and found out they were participating.
Lowe’s and Home Depot are also giving a 10% discounts (up to a certain limit–see below)
during certain dates.  Lowe’s is from 6-11 November and Home Depot is from 6-12
November.  Home Depot has done this for at least the past 6 years (that I’m aware of) and
I have found that seem to do it every veteran type holiday–Memorial Day, 4th of July,
Veteran’s day.  It is best to check with your local store.
Something that isn’t listed but I was told my an email buddy is that AutoZone gives veterans/
active duty/Guard/Reserve a 10% discount all year round.  I don’t know if this is their policy
all across the country but asking them never hurts. In fact, for all the veterans/active duty/
guard/reserve that you can get this info to, it isn’t a bad idea to ask the businesses you
frequent if they do give a discount.  I’ve gotten yes’s and as many times as no’s.
Anyway, I thought I’d pass this along.
And to all fellow veterans–THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICES!!
