Deals for Veterans

This Friday, there will be several special deals just for veterans and, in some cases, active military members, to thank them for their service.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. veterans can eat free at Chili’s. The meals include any lunch combo, margarita chicken tacos, Santa Fe chicken wrap, Oldtimer burger with cheese, margarita grilled chicken, chicken crispers, and Cobb salad. Just bring proof of service and show it to your server. The nearest Chili’s is at 707 Grand Ave., Diamond Bar.

At Applebee’s, veterans and active duty military can choose a free meal from the following items: three-cheese chicken penne, double crunch shrimp, bacon cheddar cheeseburger, 7 ounce house sirloin, oriental chicken salad, chicken tender platters, and fiesta lime chicken. This offer is available during business hours, and diners must show proof of service. The closest Applebee’s are at 21625 E. Valley Blvd., Walnut, and 3956 Grand Ave., Chino.

Veterans, active military, and retired U.S. military personnel with more of a sweet tooth can head to 7-Eleven between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. for a free small Slurpee. Accompanying family members can also get a complimentary Slurpee. There are several 7-Eleven stores in the area, including 530 N. Diamond Bar Blvd., Diamond Bar; 1345 S. Diamond Bar Blvd., Diamond Bar; and 1325 N. Grand Ave., Walnut.

With proper military ID, veterans will receive 50 percent off on green fees, excluding tournament play, at all Los Angeles County golf courses. For a list of golf courses, visit Supervisor Don Knabe’s website. 

Admissions fees and vehicle entrance fees have also been waived at the county’s regional park facilities, through November 13, for veterans, active military personnel, reserves, and their immediate families.
