Veterans Day Free Meals and Deals in the Sioux Falls Area
Today is Veterans Day. A day we set aside each year to commemorate the many men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice by dying in the service of their country.
On this day, we also take time to honor all those brave men and women who continue to serve in the Armed Forces helping to keep this country safe and free.
When you see a member of the U.S. military today, please remember to thank them for their service and everything they do each day to help keep this nation great.
A number of Sioux Falls and area businesses are saying thanks on Friday, November 11th by offering military veterans free meals and special deals throughout the day.
