Veterans Day 2020 is Wednesday Nov. 11, an important day set aside to honor those who have served, or currently are serving, in the United States military.
Originally, Veterans Day was called Armistice Day and President Woodrow Wilson celebrated it in 1919, commemorating the signing of the agreement that ended World War I. Armistice Day was initially created to honor soldiers who died in service to their country, but when it was changed to Veterans Day, it became a day to honor all those who have served in the US military.
To thank veterans and current military members for their service, every year, many businesses offer free discounts and deals, and this year is no exception. These 11 restaurants in Collin County are honoring veterans and active military service members with free meals and discounts on Veterans Day 2020.
