A Salute To Military Service Animals

The brave men and women of the military owe a lot to their counterparts from the animal kingdom. So join Applebee's in honoring all veterans and active duty military members (even quadrupeds) as part of the #ThankYouMovement this Veterans Day.

Whether it be on land, in the air, or at sea, the service animals of the U.S. military have consistently done their part to help keep our nation safe.

Their loyalty and obedience makes them excellent partners at home and on the battlefield...

...as they pitch in to do their part whenever called upon.

Whether that means patrolling the water for any threats beneath the surface...

...using their keen sense of smell to find things the human nose can't detect...

...or helping to carry items in places where vehicles can't travel.

They undergo rigorous training to remain on high alert...

...and keep our courageous soldiers smiling.

So here's to all the brave military service animals...

...because they support our troops...

...and don't hesitate to serve their country.

Let it out, buddy. You done good.

As a thanks for their service, Applebee's invites all veterans and active duty military to enjoy a free meal this Veterans Day, November 11, 2016.
