Best Veteran's Day Specials In Baltimore

Veteran's Day is a day to honor the dedicated women and men who put on the uniform of the armed services and place their loyalty to their country above their lives. Maryland, in particular, is a state blessed with an abundance of military personnel, owing to several local military bases. And so, at this time of year, local businesses like to honor these folks with discounts and benefits. Here are several of the best to be found in the Baltimore area.
