On Veterans Day, national chains honor the hometown heroes by providing them with discounts or a free meal. For most of these deals companies require some form of military ID – including a U.S. Uniform Services ID Card (active/reserve/retired), Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), Photograph in uniform, be wearing uniform (if your service permits), Veterans Organization Card (e.g., American Legion and VFW), DD214, discharge paperwork, or other form of identification. If you know of any I’ve missed, please add in the comment section.
