During Veteran’s Day week many businesses offer discounts to military members, retirees, and other veterans. Below are a few that have made it to my desk. Please forward me any other opportunities you hear about. Proof of service is often required such as a military or retiree ID card, DD Form 214, or VA card, so be prepared if you are asked. Also I recommend you call ahead, because some locations may not participate. FYI for you veterans, if you would like to have a VA card, simply register at your local VA Medical Center (with your DD-Form 214), and you can receive a photo ID card. Stein Marts in the DFW area will be giving a 10% additional discount to all service members on November 10th and 11th. Go to www.steinmart.com to find a store near you. Cabela's nationwide is offering employee pricing on November 11th and 12th to all veterans, active duty, reservists, law enforcement, and fire/ems services. You will need to present your ID to receive a "hometown heroes" coupon at the door. Some restrictions apply to this discount. Applebees is offering a free select entree at participating stores on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 with active/reserve/retired ID card. http://www.applebees.com/vetsday/ Golden Corral's Military Appreciation dinner is scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2009, from 5 to 9 pm in all Golden Corral restaurants nationwide. http://www.goldencorral.com/military/ McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants across the country are offering a complimentary entree from a special menu to the Veterans who have served in war and peace. This offer is only for Sunday, November 8th. Go to http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/featured-promotion/Veterans-Appreciation Day.aspx to find a location near you. Pizza UNO's is offering a free entrée or pizza (with the purchase of an equal value item) to all veterans and current servicemembers. This is only on Veteran's Day, November 11th. You just need to be in uniform or present a picture or ID of you in uniform. The Home Depot is offering all active duty personnel, reservists, retired military, veterans and their immediate family members a 10% discount off their purchases in honor of Veteran’s Day. The offer is valid on purchases of up to $2,000. Some exclusions apply. The promotion usually lasts for one week prior to Veterans Day, so call ahead to verify the days.
