Truck drivers who are military veterans will be treated to a free meal, up to $15, on Veteran’s Day at Iron Skillet, Country Pride and other full-service restaurants at any participating TA and Petro truck stop.

“Once again, we are taking this opportunity to thank the many truck drivers who are also military veterans for their service and sacrifice, both in our armed forces, and each day on the road,” said TA’s president and CEO, Tom O’Brien,

This offer is available to all veterans who have a current CDL , and you must show proof of service prior to ordering you meal.  Proof of service includes: U.S. Uniform Services Retired ID Card, Veterans Organization Card, Photograph in uniform, DD214, or Citation or Commendation.

Thank you for reminding everyone. I will be sure to stop and get my free meal (if I am close to a TA or Petro).

You're welcome! I hope you are close because nothing beats a free meal. Thank you for your service to our country!

You are quite welcome. So glad today that my wife talked me out of getting out after almost 14 years. But that was back in the 80's.

Just bumping topic as a reminder...

Applebees

Starbucks (free coffee)
Chili`s
Texas Road House
Krispy Kreme (free doughnut and coffee)
Outback Steakhouse
Golden Corral

Truck drivers who are military veterans will be treated to a free meal, up to $15, on Veteran’s Day at Iron Skillet, Country Pride and other full-service restaurants at any participating TA and Petro truck stop.

That shows you how clueless management types are. Hey, let's honor our military veterans for their honorable service and sacrifices by giving them a free meal of $15 or less. Because we love our military, but not enough to give them a $17 meal. Up to $15 maybe, that's enough.

Idiots!

Thank God the members of our military didn't put a limit on how much they were willing to do for us. Like, we'll protect our nation up to and including the Taliban but not from armies organized by official governments and only if the temperature is between 50-80 degrees at the time services are required.

Good grief.

Veterans Day Discounts And Meals

I couldn't agree more Brett, we all served without hestitation or reservation to do what was asked of us. But the flip side is some companies are doing something. Many more are not. Sign of the times I guess.
