Free Veterans Day food: Michigan restaurants, coffee shops, and more celebrating the military on Nov. 11
Veterans of the Game honors heroes at The Big House
Before Michigan Football home games, a veteran gets a celebration dedicated to them before they are recognized on the field of The Big House as part of Veterans of the Game. The program has been honoring servicemembers this way for the past decade.
(FOX 2) - To thank veterans and servicemembers for their sacrifices, restaurants around Michigan are offering free food on Veterans Day, which is Monday, Nov. 11.
Be sure to check with the location you visit to verify that they are offering the deal, as some locations may not be participating.
