Veterans Day includes events and deals in Broward that offer an opportunity to display appreciation for those in the armed forces.

Usually events are free. Occasionally, reservations may be required. Some events and deals are open to the public, and others are for veterans and military.

Veterans Day is November 11 every year and honors the veterans of all who have served in the U.S. military. The day was chosen in remembrance of Nov. 11, 1918, when an armistice was reached in World War I.

Veterans are also being honored with events in Miami-Dade County, events in Palm Beach County and a variety of free meals and other deals around the nation.

Thank you for your service.
