Veterans Day is fast approaching, November 11th is the day we take some time to honor and thank the veterans we know in our lives.

They are the reason you and I are able to enjoy the freedoms and lifestyle that we have today, so taking time to thank them is incredibly important.

Each year, tons of restaurants step up to the plate to say thank you, and although a free meal is just a small way to thank our veterans it really does mean a lot to them.

My grandfather is a veteran, and he loves being able to eat out for every meal on Veterans without having to pay a dime, and it really does mean a lot to him.

My father-in-law is also a veteran, and each November 11th, he looks forward to his free meal from Applebeee's.

Even back when I was a bartender at Red Robin, before I made the leap into radio, on Veteran's Day we would be packed with those who have served and are actively serving to enjoy some free burgers.

This year is no different either, Applebee's is still doing their free meal for veterans on Veteran's Day, and Red Robin will still be grilling up free burgers for those who serve our country.

But they're not alone, there are tons of restaurants that provide a free hot meal, or a voucher for a free future meal to veterans and active military members On Veteran's Day.

In fact, in New Jersey alone there are at least 13 restaurants veterans can enjoy a free meal on Veteran's Day, according to Readers Digest.
