On Veterans Day, lots of businesses express appreciation for veterans and active-duty military members by offering freebies and discounts.

There are a lot of other kinds of Veterans Day discounts, from free car care checks and discounted tires, to complimentary collectible pins, free admission to tourist attractions, and even free coworking workspace.

Veterans Day happens every year on Nov. 11.

Veterans Day is Nov. 11 every year. In 2025, Veterans Day will be on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The day marks the end of fighting during World War I (often regarded as the war to end all wars) in the eleventh hour of the eleventh month in 1918. In 1938, the day became a national holiday.

When and where can I find Veterans Day freebies?

Each year the list of businesses offering free items or services to veterans and active military on Veterans Day grows. Typically these freebies are only offered on actual Veterans Day, Nov. 11. However, occasionally you’ll find a deal that extends the offer. It’s important to pay attention to the hours a deal is being offered. For example, if it’s a restaurant, it may include a free breakfast. But if they only serve breakfast from 7 - 11 a.m., you’ll need to get the freebie within that window.
