Since a McDonald’s franchise owner opened the chain’s first drive-thru in 1975, franchise owners have looked for ways to support military members. That continues to this day, with many McDonald’s restaurants offering free meals on Veterans Day and others offering year-round military discounts.
Note: Many McDonald’s locations are franchises. Discounts and participation may vary and are at the discretion of the owner. Please call ahead to verify participation.
McDonald’s encourages guests to check with their local store to see what military discounts and Veterans Day meals are available.
Some restaurants may offer a free breakfast this year, while others may offer free value menu items and combos or items from a special Veterans Day menu.
If your local store isn’t participating, you can still find a good burger on our list of restaurants offering free or discounted meals this Veterans Day.
