Tomorrow is Veterans Day and we want to recognize you! While you may know us for offering “A Real Thank You” throughout the year, we want to also salute you for the freedoms our nation enjoys on this special day, which celebrates its origins 105 years ago with Armistice Day heralding the end of World War I.

In addition to over 400 offers in our marketplace today, our November cover story is a roundup of companies that have stepped up to recognize you with a Veterans Day freebie or discount. As members have told us, the VetRewards card is a great way to redeem these offers. It verifies your service to the country and is accepted at over 150,000 locations nationwide.

We also want to wish a happy 248th birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps. Semper Fi to our Marines!

On behalf of the team at Veterans Advantage, we hope you enjoy a restful Veterans Day. No one can ever take away your contributions to our nation, and we are forever grateful. Thank you.
