Veterans Day 2014

Veteran’s Day is a chance for all Americans to take a step back and remember the sacrifices our vets made for our freedom. In honor of those sacrifices, and as a way to say thanks, many businesses in Vail and Tucson are offering special Veteran’s Day freebies to the men and women who serve, or have served, our country.

Some deals are exclusive to veterans and their families. Others are available to everyone.

Take a look at the list below to find businesses in our area that are showing their gratitude for our armed forces today.
