However, there are plenty of places that will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. The post office, for one, closes on Veterans Day, as do most banks. Several private businesses also choose to observe the holiday. Additionally, many publicly traded companies offer veterans free meals, discounts and coupons. For instance, veterans can get a free coffee at Starbucks (SBUX (opens in new tab)) or a free meal at the Olive Garden, which is owned by Darden Restaurants (DRI (opens in new tab)).
