Today and Monday the entire country is honoring out vets and like they do every year, various restaurants and businesses are saluting veterans with offerings of free food and certain deals on items.

With the November 11 holiday falling on a Sunday, the country is actually observing Veterans Day on Monday, giving vets an extra-day worth of savings and also giving some businesses the option to celebrate on either today or Monday.

Per USA Today:

Proof of service such as a military ID is typically required and a few businesses will allow dressing in uniform as a form of identification. Discharge papers, VA cards and veteran organization membership cards also can be used to prove service at most businesses.

Deals are available at participating locations and offers can vary. Check with your closest location to confirm. The businesses listed here have more than 20 locations. Many smaller chains and individual restaurants also will offer deals and the easiest way to find specials is by checking social media.
