Veterans Day 2012 is Sunday, November 11, and in a well-timed show of solidarity, voters in Florida this week voted "yes" on several veteran-friendly amendments included in the 20,000-page ballot. And while it's certainly not as momentous, the display of gratitude continues this weekend as local and national businesses offer special discounts and freebies to veterans and active military members. The Military Wallet has created a solid roundup of the national chains with Veterans Day discounts. Find a few more localized discounts after the jump.
