Veterans and active-duty military members can find free food and other promotions at restaurants across the country on Veterans Day, Nov.
Key points
- 102-YEAR-OLD NAVY VETERAN STILL CRAVES HOT WINGS AFTER 102 COMBAT MISSIONS IN KOREA: 'I MIGHT MAKE IT TO 115' "What we're starting to see now is it's going beyond Veterans Day, to try to give back to the vets in a way that is more meaningful," Quinn told Fox News Digital.
- Dinova started the guide to share offers with veterans and, in some cases, active-duty military personnel, Quinn said.
- Veterans and active-duty military members should bring identification and check with their local restaurant before visiting, Quinn said.
"Just not about one day but come back, and we'll give you something again." Quinn pointed to California-based Hofman Hospitality Group, which is offering select meals to veterans and a $10 bonus card for a future visit.
About 30 restaurant brands are included in Dinova's 2026 Veterans Day Dining Guide, according to Alison Quinn, the company's Florida-based president.
