退伍军人食堂服务退伍军人节送免费早餐咖啡 轮胎隐形眼镜同步优惠
退伍军人节期间，设在全美退伍军人医疗中心内的退伍军人食堂服务（Veterans Canteen Service，VCS）为到店退伍军人送上免费早餐与免费咖啡，并同步推出一轮零售优惠，涵盖轮胎、隐形眼镜等日常消费品。美国退伍军人事务部（VA）在退伍军人节专题中介绍了这项安排。
退伍军人食堂服务是退伍军人事务部下属的零售与餐饮服务体系，在全国各大 VA 医疗中心设有餐厅和商店，服务对象为退伍军人、就诊患者、家属与员工，其收入用于支持退伍军人项目。节日期间，各门店除免费餐食外还推出商品折扣，具体参与门店与优惠时段以各医疗中心门店公告为准。
除餐饮零售外，退伍军人事务部今年的退伍军人节汇总还收录了交通、旅游、家居用品等多个类别的商家优惠。事务部提醒，领取优惠时通常需要出示退伍军人证件、军人身份证或 VA 医疗卡，部分线上优惠需通过身份验证平台核验服役身份。
每年退伍军人节，全美商家推出的军人优惠数量众多，质量参差。退伍军人事务部建议，退伍军人优先查阅 VA 官网与各机构官方渠道发布的优惠信息，确认参与门店、有效期与证件要求后再前往，避免空跑。（来源：美国退伍军人事务部）
Veterans Canteen Service Offers Free Breakfast and Coffee for Veterans Day, Plus Savings on Tires and Contacts
For Veterans Day, the Veterans Canteen Service (VCS), which operates cafes and retail stores inside VA medical centers nationwide, is serving free breakfast and free coffee to visiting veterans, alongside a round of retail savings on everyday items including tires and contact lenses. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) highlighted the offers in its Veterans Day coverage.
The Veterans Canteen Service is the VA's retail and food-service operation, with Patriot Cafes and stores at major VA medical centers serving veterans, patients, families and staff; its revenue supports veterans programs. Participating locations and promotion hours vary, and veterans should check their local medical center store for details.
Beyond food and retail, the VA's Veterans Day roundup this year also collects merchant offers across travel, transportation and home goods. The department notes that most offers require a veteran ID card, military ID or VA health care card, and some online deals require service verification through an identity platform.
With hundreds of military discounts offered nationwide each Veterans Day of varying quality, the VA advises veterans to rely on offers published through the VA website and official business channels, and to confirm participating locations, validity dates and ID requirements before making a trip.
