Tuesday Is Veterans’ Day–Vets Eat Free All Over!

This is one of the "national days" I'm really glad retailers' have embraced. Unlike "National Apple Turnover Day" and "National Garden Hose Day", Veterans's is a legitimate holiday. AND a day to recognize the sacrefices and service Vet's have made to defend our freedom.

10 years ago, very few businesses' acknowledged Veterans' Day. Now every place has some special or eal of free meal for Vets. From Brand Eating.com, here's a list of some places giving Vets' the treatment on Tuesday.

- Applebee's - Free Meal from a special menu.

- Chuck E. Cheese's - "20 free tokens upon a visit to Chuck E. Cheese's from Sunday, November 9, through Saturday, November 15. Military ID or proof of service is required, but no coupon is needed. The Veterans Day deal is available at each of the more than 500 participating Chuck E. Cheese's stores. Please see store for specific restrictions." (Craig's note--Huh?)

- Denny's - Free Build-Your-Own Grand Slam from 5 am to noon.
