TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — On Veteran’s Day, Squeeze In restaurants show their gratitude to the United States’ brave military men and women by buying them breakfast or lunch. Each year Squeeze In serves more and more veterans and active duty military, and it has become one of their favorite days, giving back to the community to those who deserve thanks the most. Last year they gave away 342 meals, equaling more than $5,000 worth of free food during seven hours of operation.

This year Squeeze In hopes to at least match, if not exceed, last year.

If you are a veteran or active duty military, or have one in your family or circle of friends, go to any of the four Squeeze In locations on Monday, Nov. 11 for a free meal. Valid on Monday, Nov. 11 only, participants must have military identification.

Honoring service and sacrifice of California veterans

Many individuals have a veteran in their life who could benefit from California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) information.

When veterans get connected to the state and federal benefits earned through military service, everyone wins.

Veteran benefits help veterans and families successfully move forward in civilian life; reduce the local cost of veteran health care by millions of dollars; help reduce veteran unemployment; help reduce veteran homelessness; increase enrollment in California colleges and universities
