Eateries across the country are saying "thank you" to members of the military and veterans this Independence Day by offering them freebies and discounts.
Activity duty, reservists, and veterans will receive a complimentary meal of their choice at Iron Skillet, Country Pride, and any full-service, home-style restaurant within TravelCenters of America. All that's needed is proof of military service.
Tom O’Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters, added that all of his company's restaurants are honoring those who gave their lives for our country with Fallen Soldier Tables:
“A single place setting at an empty table represents the wish that fallen men and women of our armed forces could be present to dine with us. Having set these tables on patriotic days over the last few years in our restaurants, employees at our sites have seen and shared in the emotion and memories of those who lost friends and loved ones while serving. It’s a moving experience for everyone."
