Many of our franchise owners, restaurant staff, and support team members are veterans themselves, including me. This day is our opportunity to show respect and gratitude through a shared meal—a small gesture to honor those who have protected our freedom. It’s our way of reminding veterans that they are always welcome at Denny’s.”
