Veterans Day is Thursday, November 11, 2021, and Veterans Day deals abound for people who have served in the military and those who haven’t.
If you have served in the military, you’ve earned free meals and products at restaurants like Applebee’s, Starbucks, Sports Clips, Dunkin’, and Denny’s with proof of service. Many retailers will offer a discount if a veteran shows their military ID when shopping in-store. Still, there are some storewide sales anyone can take advantage of: Since Veterans Day is right before Black Friday, many retailers may tease their Black Friday deals and prices at this time. This means sales on big-ticket items like mattresses, appliances, furniture, and electronics.
Veterans can check retailers’ store policies to see how much of a discount they can get with their military ID. But for anyone shopping online, use browser extensions like Honey and RetailMeNot to automatically search for coupons and discount codes. When shopping on Amazon, use CamelCamelCamel to see an item’s full price history to determine if you’re getting a good price. Remember to bookmark this page and check back often because we’ll be keeping it updated with the latest prices and Veterans Day deals.

When Is Veterans Day 2021?
Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11. This year, Veterans Day will be on Thursday, November 11, 2021. The Allies of World War I and Germany signed their armistice on November 11, 1918, marking the end of World War I.
What Is Veterans Day? Veterans Day Meaning
Veterans Day honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day is a federal holiday, so the United States Postal Service does not deliver mail, nonessential government offices are closed, and some financial institutions may be closed. For grammar aficionados, keep in mind that Veterans Day is spelled without an apostrophe, as per the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day
While both Memorial Day and Veterans Day are U.S. public holidays, they are distinct. Veterans Day celebrates all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day pays honor to those who have died while in military service. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday in May, and Veterans Day is always celebrated on November 11. Another holiday commemorating military service, Armed Forces Day, is celebrated on the third Saturday in May and honors those currently serving in the military.
Veterans Day History
The Allies of World War I and Germany signed their armistice on November 11, 1918, marking the end of World War I. The cease-fire took effect at 11 a.m.—“the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” Veterans Day used to be known as Armistice Day, but it was renamed in the United States in 1954. France still calls this day Armistice Day, and the United Kingdom and Commonwealth states call this day Remembrance Day.
