Thankfully, there are many places which don't just claim to support our military, but actually put their money with their mouths are (so to speak), offering active duty and retired military and their families, as well as veterans, discounts on entertainment and travel.
So I've made this special page dedicated to helping military members find the discounts they deserve. Here's what I found.
Free B&B Stay for Vets Nov. 11
Here's a little "thank you" for veterans: Select B&B's nationwide are offering veterans a free night on Veteran's Day, November 11.
Go to www.betterwaytostay.com for a complete list of inns and B&Bs in North America participating in the program. But you'd better do it quickly: the free rooms will fill up fast!
And if you want to save a little extra, take advantage of free admission Nov. 11th-13th at more than 100 national parks. Click here for details.
