Veterans Day 2012 Free food, attractions & offers round-up (Bargain Mom)

bargain mom veterans day 2012 free offer round up.jpgPortrait of General George Patton at the Patton Museum Fort Knox, Kentucky. My family and I visited and toured the free facility during the summer. Go here to see the post: http://blog.al.com/bargain-mom/2012/07/bargain_moms_family_vacation_t.html

I'm from a military family, I have fond memories of my dad serving as a flight medic in a helicopter unit, of family days at the armory, having my own family military ID, of shopping at a PX, learning the difference between a post and a base and memorizing the military alphabet.

I remember my mom and dad pressing uniforms, sewing on patches, Army summer camps and other places dad was sent to serve.

As a child and teen I remember the sacrifices my mom and dad would make when he would leave on assignments.

One year my dad was sent to Panama -- the country --  for months in the early 80s.  It happened to be the same time Alabama was hit by a snowstorm and our well froze and busted (we lived in the country).  My mom with three small children had to take care of us and get that fixed without power and water.  Water was not flowing but I remember mom dealing with a flood of frustrations while my father was gone.

My dad would write us letters while he was away, and I saved them.  Words of encouragement, stories of his adventures, advice for making friends at a new school and more.

Life can be tough as a military family, but it can also be very rewarding.

If you or a loved one served in the military I know the following freebies and offers do not

adequately reflect what you really deserve.

You deserve more than any 'freebie round-up' could offer.

With all that being said, I've put together this list of offers valid Sunday or Monday.  It's not much, it should be more, however my hope is that you may be able to visit a restaurant or attraction and take advantage of the savings and enjoy some time with your family, your biggest fans who are truly proud of your service.  Trust me, I'm just as proud of my dad in my late thirties as I was when I was a child.
