If you’re a veteran, reservist or active-duty military, and you’re on the road on Veterans Day, you might want pull off at a TravelCenters of America location for a free meal.
TravelCenters of America is continuing its tradition of inviting all active-duty military, veterans, and reservists to enjoy a complimentary meal on Veterans Day, November 11, 2024, at participating quick-service and full-service restaurants at TA, Petro, and TA Express locations nationwide.
Veterans must present proof of service before ordering. Proof of service can include a Uniformed Services ID card, current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), veterans’ organization membership card, photograph in uniform, DD214 form, a citation, or commendation.
In addition to the free meal, TA is again sponsoring Wreaths Across America, a non-profit committed to keeping the memory of fallen heroes alive by placing wreaths on gravesites at America’s national cemeteries. This has become a long-standing tradition every holiday season at TA to remember those who have made the greatest sacrifice of all.
In addition to purchasing wreaths for cemeteries nationwide, TA team members will gather December 14 to participate in a wreath-laying event at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery.
TA advocates for veterans year-round by promoting job opportunities and working with the military’s Transition Assistance Program (TAP) assisting active military and their families in job placement. TA also partners with the Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF) to help retiring military members transition into civilian corporate careers.

I won’t be going to one of these, but I wonder if the Veteran designation on my driver’s license would qualify. Years ago Dairy Queen offered a free small Blizzard to vets on Veteran’s Day. I went to my local DQ and was refused because they didn’t recognize my veteran designated driver’s license.
That’s actually pretty sad to hear about Tommy.
I appreciate and thank you for your service !
Why bother anymore. The last time I tried to get into an Applebees or Dennys it was so crowded it was worse than an Army mess hall.
Thank you, Chuck! Have a great day, a good Thanksgiving, and safe travels!
