America is taking a day to say thank you to those who have served in the military and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. And many businesses are doing so by offering extra discounts and freebies to active duty military and veterans.
To take advantage of these deals, you’ll likely need your military ID. So keep that handy. Here are some of the most notable specials being offered.
Walgreens
From May 24-27, veterans, members of the military and their families can get a 20% discount on eligible regular-price items at Walgreens or Duane Reade stores.
Columbia Sportswear
While the retailer is offering sale prices to everyone, military personnel (and first responders) can get an extra 20% off from May 16 though May 27.
Sea World
Active-duty military and their families receive free admission to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks. (Can’t make it today? The offer runs year-round.)
7-Eleven
The chain is doubling its fuel discount for active-duty and retired members of the military. Through May 31, verified 7Rewards and ID.me members can take 10 cents off per gallon—along with the app’s normal 5 cent discount.
Midas
Need tires or a repair to your vehicle? Midas is offering active military members and veterans an extra 15% off.
Pilot Flying J
All month long, the travel-center chain has been offering three free offers per week to veterans, military personnel and their families. Those include free Pilot coffee and fountain drinks, freshly prepared Pilot foods like pizza and breakfast sandwiches, and popular brand name cooler drinks.
Outback Steakhouse
Take 10% off your bill with a military ID, not just today, but every day.
Kings Dominion
The Virginia theme part is offering free admission to active and retired military. Dependents receive tickets for up to six people at a 50% discount.
