On Veterans Day, we honor those who have so honored us with their service and sacrifice to keep America strong and free.
Hundreds of retailers and restaurants also salute the military, offering discounts to veterans, active duty and retired U.S. military, National Guard and reservists on Sunday and Monday. In some cases, spouses and families members are included, too.
Many military discounts aren't publicized, so be sure to ask if one available before making a purchase or dining and have your military identification so you can take advantage of the deal.
