TravelCenters of America is inviting all truck drivers who are veterans to have a complimentary meal on Veteran’s Day. Participating TA and Petro Stopping Center sit down restaurants will be providing free meals for veterans to honor their service to the country.
On Nov. 11, any veteran with a CDL license can receive a complimentary meal of up to $15 in value by showing proof of service to their server prior to ordering their meal. Accepted proofs of service include U.S. Uniform Services Retired ID Card, Veterans Organization Card, DD214, a citation or commendation, and a photograph in uniform.
“Once again, we are taking this opportunity to thank the many truck drivers who are also military veterans for their service and sacrifice – both in our armed forces and each day on the road,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters.
There will be nearly 220 participating Iron Skillet, Country Pride and other full-service, home-style restaurants at TA and Petro locations.
