It is Veterans Day and time to show all of those out there who have served our country love. While many of us are still students with not that much money in our pockets, we thought that the least we could do is hook all of the veterans and military service people up with a list of all of the places they can go to get free stuff today.
Our guest writer, Alexz Chill over at DPTAUGHTME created this very useful list and wanted to sincerely wish all of our military men and women, specifically our proud members of NPHC, a happy Veterans Day. We love, honor and appreciate your sacrifice. Words can’t really express the gratefulness and gratitude that we owe our veterans.
Share this with a veteran and help make their day today great!
