This coming Thursday is Veterans Day.  Of course, we want to thank our service men and women for their service to our country, and many of the St. Cloud area restaurants are offering meals, appetizers, desserts for free to active duty and veterans on Veterans Day.

There are so many restaurants in the United States getting on board and offering free meals, these are a few of them in St. Cloud.  All of them do require proof of military service to be shown when getting the free meal, appetizer, dessert or drink.

Also- it's a good idea to verify if the restaurant you are going to is participating.  Our source says they are, but it's always a good idea to check before ordering.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
