For Veterans, here is a list of businesses that provide some sort of discount for your service. Some places will be offering a free meal during the week of Veteran's Day (you will need to check with the particular restaurant). Other places like Lowes and Home Depot will give you a 10% discount every day. Below is a list that someone sent to me, and I am passing it on to those brother and sister Vets of mine.
Myself, I will be taking the wife to McCormick & Schmick's at the Baltimore Inner Harbor tomorrow for an early dinner.
