5 East Texas Restaurants With Veteran’s Day Deals

There are several places around East Texas that want to thank a veteran with free or discounted meals this Veterans Day.  Don't miss the deals on Monday, November 11.  

My dad is a Navy veteran, and he never wants any attention or thanks for his service.  In fact, he's pretty quick to pass on benefits altogether because he doesn't want to be greedy, and if he passes he thinks that will leave more good stuff for somebody else.  There is something about service members that's just so incredibly selfless it's admirable, and that humility is probably a trait that attracted them to the military in the first place.  They are prepared to make sacrifices for all of us because it's in their nature.  But really, veterans, you deserve some thanks!  And there are several East Texas restaurants that want to honor you with some freebies next week.

The Veteran's Administration wants us to share the info about meal deals for service members on Veterans Day so families, caregivers, and survivors are aware of all resources available to them.  Okay!
