Military Veterans Day Discounts for 2022

You and your family have sacrificed a lot for the country. Restaurants and stores that offer military Veterans Day discounts are trying to say “thank you” for these sacrifices. Of course, a free cup of coffee or a store discount is small compared to your service, but it’s a nice gesture, and you’ve more than earned it!

We’ve compiled a list of what stores give military discounts, as well as restaurants that offer Veterans Day food discounts. Many companies don’t announce their discounts until a few days before the holiday, so it’s always good to ask! In some cases, discounts may vary by location, so that’s another reason to call ahead.
