OK, we decided to check out a few things around town to honor local veterans on Veteran’s Day 2025.
Local Freebies for Veteran’s Day 2025
Wow, there were a lot of businesses offering different things to veterans today. Paris Baguette offered a free pastry. Then it was a free coffee for veterans in our local Wawa. At Texas Roadhouse, the veteran could either pick up a free lunch coupon or dine free inside without a coupon. We opted to meet friends and to dine inside.
Reception for Vets
Earlier in the month, we attended a special service for veterans with a reception afterwards.
Of course, the event hall was decorated with US flags, and a red, white and blue color scheme. There was coffee, donuts, slices of cake, bagels with assorted cream cheese, and a couple of fruit dishes.
Then a group of children got up to sing a special song to thank the veterans.
The tables were decorated with cards written by children thanking the veterans for keeping us safe and for their service.
I asked if I could take a few cards home to our neighbor who is also a veteran, and they said that was OK.
I love the one card which a student had drawn a picture of a military man in a green uniform. Great drawing and it made me smile!!!
