Save Newport Real News in Newport Beach
Yesterday the Marines may have gotten their day (and happy birthday to them!), but today is dedicated to all veterans. In fact, if you are a vet, many companies would like to honor you on this day dedicated to you and your service. Here are a few nationally recognized names, and their attempt at giving back:
• Get a free haircut. Veterans who visit Great Clips shops on Nov. 11, can either receive a free haircut — or a card for a free haircut to redeem by Dec. 31.
• Eat a free meal. At Hooters, the freebie meal on Veterans Day can be worth up to $10.99, with any drink purchase. Applebee’s, Chili’s and California Pizza Kitchen all offer free meals from a special menu to vets and active military.
• Down a free burger. Red Robin is offering a Red’s Tavern Double burger with Bottomless Steak Fries, on the house.
• Drink a free coffee. Starbucks is offering a free, tall brewed coffee on Tuesday to all U.S. military veterans and active duty service members — and their spouses!
• Scarf down free pancakes. IHOP offers vets and active military free Red, White and Blue pancakes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
Work-out for free. 24-Hour Fitness offers free use of the health club to vets and active military through Tuesday.
• Enjoy a free appetizer. Red Lobster, through Thursday, is offering free appetizers to veterans and active duty military.
• Down a free doughnut — and coffee. Krispy Kreme will give a free doughnut and small coffee to anyone who identifies themselves as a veteran or active duty military on Veterans Day.
• Get free game tokens. Chuck E. Cheese will give 20 free tokens to U.S. military vets and active-duty military through Saturday.
Now, these are all national chains– but if you know of any local ones, please leave them in the comments section, below!
Above all, vets: thank you for your dedication, and for your sacrifices. Serving our country is not an easy job– you know that, and we know that. Thank you.
