Veterans Day Deals: Truckers For Troops Continues Supporting Veterans

Veterans Day offers in 2026 will include discounted OOIDA memberships, a donation program supporting Truckers For Troops, and a range of free meals and discounts for veterans and military personnel. Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

OOIDA Membership Discount Supports Truckers For Troops

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association’s Truckers For Troops program, which began in 2007, will offer special membership pricing during Veterans Day week.

New OOIDA memberships and renewals for current members will be available for $35. OOIDA will donate 10% of those membership payments to Truckers For Troops, a program that supports U.S. troops and veterans.

The initiative gives professional drivers an opportunity to reduce membership costs while contributing to a veterans-focused cause during the Veterans Day observance.

Free Meals and Discounts Available Nov. 11

Restaurants, retailers, attractions and other businesses across the country are expected to offer free meals, beverages, discounts and other promotions to veterans and active-duty military members.

Offers vary by business and location, and many require military identification or other proof of service. Participating locations may also set their own hours and eligibility requirements.

• Shoney’s: Veterans and active-duty service members can receive a free Legendary Breakfast Bar on Nov. 11 at participating locations. The offer is available from opening until 11 a.m., with proof of service required.
• Food City: Veterans and active-duty military members can receive a free hot bar meal, including an entrée, two sides and a roll, along with a 21-ounce fountain drink. The offer is available from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at participating stores, with military identification or proof of service required.
• In-N-Out Burger: Veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard members and reservists can receive a complimentary meal consisting of a burger, fries and a beverage. The offer applies to menu items and participating locations.

Offers Extend Beyond Restaurants

Veterans Day promotions also include savings on products, services and local attractions. Some businesses are offering discounts on tools, automotive products, haircuts, entertainment and other goods and services.

One reported retail promotion includes select Husky shelving units, rolling tool chests, a mobile workbench and a floor jack. Eligible customers who complete a qualifying purchase will receive instructions by email for claiming a free tool bag. Additional purchase and submission requirements may apply.

Businesses and organizations have offered Veterans Day promotions for more than two decades as a way to recognize veterans and military families. Customers should confirm availability, participation, identification requirements and offer terms before visiting a location.
