Veterans Day today — did anyone actually use the free meals or discounts?

I've been seeing a lot of places advertising free meals or discounts for veterans today, and it got me wondering. Did anyone here — or someone in your family — actually go out and use one of them? Were the deals easy to use, or did you have to jump through hoops with ID, apps, or fine print? And honestly, do you think these offers are a genuine thank-you, or mostly just good marketing for the restaurants and stores? Curious what your experience was like.
