Veterans Day is coming up on Saturday, November 11th. Please thank a Veteran for their dedication to protecting our freedom. Veterans will be fed well this Veterans Day in Michigan.

A number of different restaurants offer free meals to United States Veterans. One of the first restaurants I can remember doing this was Applebee's. I used to serve tables on Veterans Day at local Applebee's throughout Mid Michigan. It felt good to serve those that have served me and my family. Applebee's continues the tradition.

Lots of restaurants will offer free meals to Veterans. Please make sure that you have your proper ID when you visit these locations. Military.com is in the know and they share what Veterans can look forward to.
