TA offering free meal for military members on Veterans Day

A nationwide truck stop chain will offer a free meal for military members this weekend in honor of Veterans Day.

On Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11, 2023, TravelCenters of America (TA) is inviting  active-duty military, veterans, and reservists to take in a free meal at participating quick-service or full-service restaurants.

To obtain the free meal, military members are asked to present proof of service prior to ordering. Proof of service may include a Uniformed Services ID card, current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), veterans’ organization membership card, photograph in uniform, DD214 form, a citation, or commendation.

“The enormous impact of these courageous individuals will always be recognized within our organization,” said Debi Boffa, CEO of TA. “Last year, TA was able to help over 200 Special Operations veterans through our nationwide Round Up campaign. We hope to surpass that number this year with the help of our passionate team members and generous guests. Thank you to all who have dedicated their lives to protecting others.”

Truck stop giant Pilot is also offering a free meal for military members and their families during Veterans Day Weekend.
