Veterans Day FAQs
How can I receive my free entree on Veterans Day?
It’s easy! Simply show proof of military service, such as a U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card, DDT214 Citation or Commendation, your U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card, a Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) or your Veterans Organization Card (i.e., American Legion and VFW). Alternatively, provide a photograph of yourself in your military uniform — or, even better, come into your neighborhood Applebee’s wearing it!
