With Veterans Day coming up on Saturday, November 11, we always hear about "FREE" this and "FREE" that offered to vets on Veterans Day. Like free haircuts and free meals! Does this include Alaska? Some offers apply and some do not.
So there are no surprises best to always call first as some offers are on Veterans Day or the Friday before or Monday after. Offers may include active and retired military personnel and some have specific restrictions. Be sure to have proof of service with you - DD form 214 or the Vet flag you can add to your drivers license or state ID to prove Veteran Status. Again, best to call before you go. With that said, this is awesome! Listed below are businesses we called to confirm Veterans Day offers in Anchorage, Alaska. Please note you'd still need to cover gratuity.
