As many of our readers know, I’m a big supporter of our military and our troops. With Veterans Day 2009 almost here, I wanted to share a special offer I just found out about for veterans and active duty military personnel.

As a special thank you, Applebee’s is giving a free meal to veterans and active duty military on Veterans Day! Just show proof of your military service  and Applebee’s will give you one of six of their menu favorites — choose from Applebee’s three-cheese chicken penne, fire pit bacon burger, fiesta lime chicken, chicken tenders platter, 7 oz. house sirloin, or oriental chicken salad.

So put on your uniform or bring your military ID card and head over to Applebee’s on Veterans Day (November 11).

Please not that this offer is available at participating Applebee’s only for dine-in orders from the special menu. Beverages and tip are not included. Specific proof of veteran status or active duty military service is required. Click here for specific details on this Applebee’s Veterans Day 2009 offer.
