Thank you for your service: This Thursday, we honor millions of U.S. servicemen and women on Veterans Day.
The stock market is open on Veterans Day, and most other businesses stay open during the federal holiday, as well.
And many of them are offering special discounts and perks for veterans this year.
That includes Krispy Kreme
DNUT,
and Dunkin’ dishing free donuts; IHOP and Denny’s flipping free pancakes, and Starbucks
SBUX,
pouring free coffee. Nearly all of these deals are for in-store customers only — so online orders are excluded. More Veteran’s Day food deals include free entrees from Olive Garden and Applebee’s. And all of these deals are for veterans as well as active military members.

Military news resource military.com has compiled a list of the hundreds of available events, discounts and free items available to U.S. veterans this year.
Some businesses require servicemen and women to show proof that they are serving or have served in the military, so in some instances veterans may have to provide identification. But many places also count being dressed in uniform as a form of identification.
