❤️🤍💙Celebrating OUR Heros! Local restaurants who are celebrating veterans.
As Veterans Day approaches, the nation comes together to honor those who have bravely served in our armed forces. This year, many local restaurants are stepping up to show their gratitude by offering free meals to our country’s superheroes—our veterans and active-duty military members. If you’re a veteran or know someone who is, this is the perfect time to enjoy a delicious meal on the house!
In case you haven’t checked out the American Legion website for your own list, here are some fantastic options to consider. Remember to check back every Thursday for my weekly local restaurant reviews, starting this Thursday!
