COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Military Wallet, a resource for military members, Veterans and their families, today released its 2026 list of Veterans Day free meals and discounts, with more than 50 offers for Veterans and active duty military members on Nov. 11 with new offers added daily.

Tips for Redeeming Veterans Day Offers
To help military members and Veterans make the most of Veterans Day, The Military Wallet recommends the following:
- Bring proof of military service. Most businesses require it to redeem an offer. Accepted forms may include a military ID, a VA-issued Veterans ID card, a driver’s license with a Veteran designation or discharge paperwork.
- Confirm participation before you go. Many listed businesses are franchises, and individual locations may set their own policies. Call ahead to verify locations, hours and participation.
- Tip on the full cost of the meal. Customers are encouraged to tip their server thoughtfully, based on the value of the non-discounted meal.
