On 11/11/11, the United States celebrates Veterans Day 2011, and in honor of supporting our Veterans and Service Members, we wanted to compile a list of available deals, discounts and freebies that are being offered as part of this years Veterans Day celebration.

The web is buzzing with activity on this Veterans Day, with many deals being offered exclusively online, but some old-time favorites and traditional standby’s are still on offer from brick and mortar businesses who have paid tribute to our Veterans for decades.

Thank You for Your Service!

We hope you’re able to take advantage of some of the following discounts, and that you have an amazing Veterans Day of your own, regardless of the deals on offer.

To all of our Veterans, Service Members and their families- we thank you for your service and all that you’ve done to keep this country free!

Veterans Day 2011 Deals & Discounts from Restaurants

Chili’s: Chili’s has put together a special Veterans Day menu comprised of six different meals and is offering one for free to any Veteran or service member between the hours of 11 am and 5pm. This one may be difficult to take advantage of, but try to squeeze it in during lunch!

The Olive Garden: The Olive Garden offers a free entree, with baked garlic sticks and your choice of soup or salad. The free entree is the big pull, as The Olive Garden always provides free bread sticks and soup or salad with their entrees. This deal is apparently available all day.
