How we build this list
We include an offer only after we read it on the company's own official page, worded for Veterans Day 2026. A page that still shows last year's offer doesn't count, so many well-known chains aren't listed yet. We'll add them once they post their 2026 details. We don't use affiliate links, and nobody pays to be listed.
