Here's another link with some more free Veteran's Day food offers …

https://www.usatoday.com/story/mo...981598007/

There are going to be some repeats from the other link, but I noticed this one has a Wendy's free breakfast combo that I didn't see in the other, so maybe worth a glance as well

Actually, I'm going to just paste the list here and hopefully it's not too huge of a wall of text.

Thanks for sharing. Very strange that SlickDeals staff seems more interested in celebrating their made up "Singles Day," than making any acknowledgement honoring the sacrifices of our nation's heroes.
