Lots of businesses offer special deals and freebies for former military personnel on Veterans Day. This applies especially to restaurants. Joe Ryan, the head guy at the Raising Cane's eatery on West Tennessee Street, says his operation became part of a nationwide effort to help injured vets.
"In Tallahassee, we went to the food banks and we were feeding the homeless shelters. We also volunteer for Special Olympics. But Raising Canes as we do each of our individual communities, they wanted to do something nationally. So that's why they went with the Wounded Warrior Project for this Veterans Day: $250,000!"
The Wounded Warrior Project began 20 years ago to provide physical and mental health resources to injured vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
