What's the Deal with Veterans Day?
Veterans Day, a day to honor and thank all American veterans for their service, falls on November 11th each year. It's a time for us to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country. But why is it important to Panda Express?
Panda Express: A Long-Standing Commitment
Panda Express, your favorite spot for American Chinese cuisine, has always been passionate about supporting our veterans. This commitment runs deep, with roots tracing back to the very beginning of the brand. The founders, Andrew and Peggy Cherng, have a strong personal connection to the military, with Andrew serving in the U.S. Army Reserve. This has fueled their dedication to giving back to the veteran community.
Veterans Day Free Meal: Our Way of Saying Thanks
Every Veterans Day, Panda Express shows its appreciation with a free meal for veterans and active duty military personnel. This tradition has been going strong for over a decade, and it's our small way of saying "thank you" to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
What's on the Menu?
On this special day, veterans and active duty military can enjoy a free entrée from our Wok Hei menu, along with a drink. Here's what's typically on offer:
- Broccoli Beef - Honey Walnut Shrimp - Orange Chicken - Kung Pao Chicken - Mongolian Beef
How to Claim Your Free Meal
To claim your free meal, simply visit any participating Panda Express location on Veterans Day and show a valid military ID or other proof of service. It's that easy!
More Than Just a Meal
While the free meal is our way of expressing gratitude, it's also part of a broader effort to support veterans. Panda Express partners with various organizations, such as the Invisible Heroes Foundation and Veterans of Foreign Wars, to provide job training, mental health services, and other resources to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.
Panda Cares: Giving Back All Year Round
Panda Cares, our community involvement program, supports a wide range of causes, including veteran-related initiatives. Throughout the year, Panda Express raises funds for these causes through in-store donations and special events. So, every time you enjoy your favorite Panda Express dish, you're helping to make a difference.
