One day or even a week isn't enough for Americans to celebrate and appreciate everything our military has done for us, but Veterans Day is coming up on Saturday, November 11. That means a lot of restaurants and businesses are giving out freebies Friday, Saturday, Sunday and even Monday for men and women who are in or have been in the service.

I checked out a few dependable sources - including Militarybenefits.info and Miltary.com -  as to where military service men and women can get these deals and here's the massive list of places to stop by Veterans Day weekend in East Texas.

Thank you to anyone who has helped serve our nation and the families that also make sacrifices to make this country a place to raise our children. Please make sure to bring a valid US military ID when asking about these offers.
