Veterans Day has been a national holiday in the United States since 1938. It was initially named Armistice Day in 1919 and recognized the ending of World War I, Military.com pointed out. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day and it became a holiday where all veterans, living or not, were celebrated and honored for their service in all wars. In 1978, it was declared that November 11 would be Veterans Day every year.
In honor of Veterans Day, many restaurants gift those who have served in the military with a free meal or bonus meal with their purchase as a thank you for their service. What better way to say thank you than with free food? So what are Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings offering this year to those who have fought for our country?
