In honor of Veteran's Day, which is tomorrow, Wednesday November 11th, many restaurants are having specials, where veteran's or current military and sometimes their families will be honored with free food. Here is a list of the ones I've currently come across. Most are only available on Veteran's Day, require proof of military service or military id, are for dine in only, and only at participating restaurants. If you know of more gratitude meals for veterans, please add them in the comments.
NOTE: There are lots of lists of places that have Veterans Day specials out on the net...if I went to a restraunts website and found no mention of these deals, I didn't list them. You might check a specific stores Facebook page as they post deals there. I also only listed those specials local to the San Francisco Bay Area. There are a ton of places back east that also have specials.

Do check your local businesses for any donations they may be making on your purchases.
