This Saturday we will honor, remember and thank those individuals who served in the U.S. military for their sacrifices to protect our freedoms.
Several restaurants in the Valley and across the country will thank veterans for their service with a free meal or treat. We've rounded up as many of the deals as we could find.
While most take place on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, a few are valid on Friday, Nov. 10 and Monday, Nov. 13. For each, the military service member will have to bring his or her military ID or some other proof of service. Did we miss one? Send an email to share@abc15.com.
