Springfield restaurants offer free Veterans Day meals

SPRINGFIELD, IL – To thank veterans for their service, local and national chains are giving veterans and active-duty persons a chance to score free meals and deals this Veterans Day. Veterans Day ties back to World War I. To commemorate Armistice Day between Germany and the Allies on Nov. 11, 1918, soldiers who fought overseas coming home weren’t recognized for their service through a national holiday until decades later. In 1938 Armistice Day became a federal holiday, before shifting names to better encompass all veterans in 1954. Over a century since the first war ended, veterans who served or served in conflicts in Korea to the Middle East, and anywhere in between can be recognized and treated in Springfield at these chain locations Nov. 11.
