Memorial Day arrives on Monday, and scores of restaurants, retailers and recreational sites nationwide will honor current service members and veterans with discounts and special deals.
The following list was compiled using information from military resources online and entities that directly contacted NGAUS.
The association's list is divided between offers that are available on Memorial Day 2024 — Monday, May 27, — and offers that are available for Military Appreciation Month, which lasts through May 31.
The eligibility criteria for all offers are provided when possible. These criteria vary by establishment.
Some establishments' criteria use the term "active duty." NGAUS staff tries to verify this requirement with some of these entities each year and always finds the intent is to provide a discount or deal to people who are currently serving, including drilling National Guardsmen, not just personnel on active-duty orders.
Some potential deals for current service members and veterans throughout the rest of this month include:
