Veteran's Day is a day to honor all those who have served their country, and many retailers, restaurants and online stores offer special offers, discounts and free gifts for veterans and active duty members. (and in some cases spouses and close relatives may also be eligible). We've put them all together so you spend less time searching and more time enjoying these small benefits. And if you want to find even more offers and discounts on individual products, there are a lot of pre-Black Friday sales to take advantage right now too.

Online stores and bricks and mortars also show them a bit of love. To thank veterans and service members for their services, the stores will offer special discounts to those with military ID. Many companies can also accept release documents, Veterans Administration cards and veterans organization membership cards as proof of service. Some savings extend to spouses and families, and many military discounts are available year-round or on a regular basis.

For online purchases, service members use a different process to obtain these discounts. Many retailers use third-party verification services to confirm that only eligible people are able to take advantage of these offers.

"More and more brands are giving back to the military community by offering exclusive offers to those who have served our country," said Jake Weatherly, CEO of SheerID, a third-party verification service. "We are privileged to help country sector brands honor the brave men and women of our armed forces, on the occasion of Veterans Day and throughout the year."
