Hooters recognizes the sacrifices made by fellow United States military personnel, and as a way of saying "thank you" to those "who have served," the restaurant is inviting all active duty and retired military across the country to dine at Hooters for free on Tuesday, Nov.11.
All veterans and active-duty military personnel can enjoy an entrée on the house and some famous Hooters Girl hospitality by presenting a military ID or proof of service at any Hooters location across the country.
Veterans can choose among the Hooters' wide selection of entrees, salads, seafood dishes, sandwiches and desserts. Hooters will also be serving its popular boneless chicken wings with buffalo sauce with different "heat range" from mild to 911, together with the restaurant's home-style sauces and rubs such as chipotle honey, teriyaki-style samurai and lemon pepper.
"For the past 30 years, we've been serving up Hooters world famous chicken wings to our nation's best and bravest," said Andrew Pudduck, vice president of marketing, Hooters.
"Our servicemen and women deserve our genuine thanks, and we hope they'll join us this Veterans Day for a fun dining experience on the house, as a small token of our appreciation for their service. Dine with us and #LetFreedomWing!" Pudduck added.
Aside from the free meal, Hooters is also encouraging guests to "pass the love" to troops overseas through its yearly Operations Calendar Drop Program-giving out the 2015 Hooters Calendar with fitness model and 2014 Miss Hooters International Janet Layug on the cover. Guests can purchase the calendar and even add their own messages and the restaurant will collect them and send them out to United States troops stationed abroad.
Hooters and the military community have a tight knit bond counting decades. The company has been raising thousands of dollars for non-profit military organizations.
Everyone is invited to share photos of their Veterans Day visit to Hooters via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with the #LetFreedomWing hashtag. The best moments will be featured on the Hooters Instagram page.
