• Be sure to bring proof of military service, uniform photo or be in uniform. Proof of military service varies by company. See the list of states now offering a Veterans designation on a driver’s license.
• Pay attention to the dates on the Veterans Day offer as some offers are for days to other than Veterans Day or extended over several days.
• Many of the restaurant free meals are for dine in only.
• Many of these promotions include small print that says participating locations only. Unfortunately individual franchisees may choose not to participate. Fortunately, some franchisee’s participate even if the corporate company does not.
