veteran's day

Veteran's day deals and steals

Veteran’s day is a day we honor all those who have served in the military. This includes those who have perished, but is mainly focused on those still with us. We celebrate our veterans and thank them for their sacrifices to serve us. Did you know it was originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WWI? ​

On to the thick of it ---> why you clicked on this post! Here is a list of all places offering veteran’s day deals and steals!

This is by no means an exhaustive list because there are SO MANY out there, but this should definitely get you started. These are for anyone who has proof of service (active duty, veterans, and other military), on November 11, unless otherwise stated. ​
