Veterans Day is fast approaching so we are compiling a list of all the California restaurants, retailers, and venues that are offering discounts for veteran servicemembers.
As a note of caution, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains possible that some businesses are opting out or changing their annual Veterans Day discounts and promotions.
For those intending to travel, The American Legion has also published a list of locations offering Veterans Day discounts throughout the country.
Don’t forget to check back later as retailers and restaurants announce new promotions for Veterans Day and the month of November.
If you have any deals or discounts you’d like to see here, please let us know in the comments section below.
