2023 National Military Appreciation Month Discounts
Discounts for Military & Veterans for National Military Appreciation Month 2023
May is known as National Military Appreciation Month and includes Memorial Day weekend. We’ve compiled a list of organizations and companies that will be remembering the military community during the month of May.
For most Americans who are civilians, Memorial Day is the beginning of Summer. However, that day means something else to the military community. Memorial Day isn’t a day to thank veterans, but a day to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. A day to remember who they were, and all the memories we had with them. A day to remember what they did for the United States.
Oftentimes, businesses will do something on Memorial Day to honor the military, and give something back. And while we know and remember the ultimate sacrifice, we appreciate those who do offer a discount or a free meal, to show that they do remember and care about the military community and all we have gone through.
NOTE: Please make sure to double-check to ensure any of the places mentioned are open. There could be some temporary closures or reduced hours.
ADD NOTE: These are seasonal offers. This may result in the webpage no longer being available when the promotion is over. We’ll leave the info here in the event they update it for a promotion next year.
