On Saturday, they can get a free doughnut at Dunkin’, free coffee and a doughnut at Krispy Kreme or a free breakfast combo at Wendy’s.

At Starbucks on Saturday, vets get a free hot or iced coffee.

And at IHOP until 7 p.m. Saturday, get free pancakes or a pancake combo.

Applebees is offering a free meal when you dine in on Saturday.

Lowe’s on Saturday is giving out free collectible pins to the first 150 veteran customers at each store.

Lowe’s already offers a 10% military discount to active duty and veteran military service members and their families every day.

For most of the deals, you do need to show a valid military ID.
