Free Rooms to Honor Veterans

Veterans Day is federal holiday that is observed on November 11 in the United States. Along with Memorial Day, which pays respect to soldiers who died in military service, it honors veterans of the armed forces. The specific date was selected in accordance with the end of the First World War and President Woodrow Wilson’s declaration of remembrance.

To pay respect to those who fought, a group of over 400 independently owned bed and breakfast inns are providing free stays for veterans on the night of November 10. A valid military or Veterans Administration ID is required for each reservation. To find a participating inn, view the list on B&Bs For Vets. Inn keepers who want to be listed for the promotion can contact Kathleen Panek of the Gillum House Bed & Breakfast in West Virginia. To qualify, at least one room must be provided for the night of November 10, free of charge, to any active or retired military person with appropriate ID.
