2024 Veterans Day Free Meals and Deals

Happy Veterans Day, and thank you to all who’ve served or are currently serving.

Veterans Day 2024 is today, Monday, Nov. 11. Hundreds of businesses across the U.S. offer free meals, deals and other freebies for veterans and military members to show their appreciation to those who served our nation. Our charge is finding and verifying each discount or free meal and consolidating all these in a single location for you.

As you plan your day, remember that businesses offering free meals or discounts will ask for proof of service. A driver’s license with a veteran designation, military ID, or U.S. Uniform Services Retired ID Card is sufficient.

Please note: Franchises like McDonald’s and Subway offer deals only at participating locations. Individual franchisees may set their own discount policies or choose not to provide a discount. We recommend calling ahead to confirm availability.

Veterans Day Free Meals FAQ

How often are these Veterans Day discounts updated?

We’re updating this page multiple times each day leading up to Veterans Day as we find more free meals, deals, and discounts. Keep checking back to see the latest Veterans Day deals!

How do I submit a correction for a particular discount?

If you see anything that needs to be adjusted, or if there is a deal that’s been modified or tweaked since we’ve checked it, send us an e-mail at [email protected]. Our main goal is to make sure you have the best and most up-to-date information!

Do I need Proof of Service for the Free Meals on Veterans Day?

Yes, most restaurants will ask for proof of service to receive your free meals and discounts. Be sure to bring your Military ID, U.S. Uniform Services Retired ID Card or separation papers with you to be on the safe side.

Are these only available on Veterans Day?

Pay attention to the dates on the Veterans Day offer, as some offers may apply to Veterans Day, the entire weekend or another day.

Can I Get My Free Meal Offer To Go?

Free Veterans Day meal offers are typically dine-in only unless otherwise specified.

Do I still tip my server?

Yes, tip your servers on Veterans Day. While your meal may be free, their bills are not. Servers work hard during busy Veterans Day promotions. Consider tipping the original cost of the meal if you’re in a position to do so.

Do families get free meals and discounts for Veterans Day?

Most of the time, Veterans Day discounts and other Veterans Day freebies are reserved for active-duty military members and veterans. Occasionally, a restaurant will extend a discount to the entire ticket, but this is uncommon. If we find a family deal from a business, we’ll include these details in our description.

How do you verify your discounts?

The Veteran.com team communicates directly with brands or their PR agencies to confirm discounts. Aside from direct communication, we also scour the web and social media for press releases and posts with offer details.

Thank you for your service!
