Free Eats for Vets in the Quad Cities Today

Tomorrow is Veterans Day and there are several places in the Quad Cities giving free meals and honor where honor is due. 

According to this article on Time.com, many local and national restaurants and stores want to give back this Veteran’s Day. I love it when thanks is given and our military (and their families) are supported. You can make a donation through tomorrow for our Townsquare Cares for Military Families. Funds raised goes right back to local military families.

Here’s a partial list of participating restaurants giving free eats for our vets:

Applebee’s: Vets and active-duty military can have their pick from a special menu with options like three-cheese chicken penne, 7-oz. sirloin, and double crunch shrimp, free of charge (beverage and gratuity are not included).
