TL;DR: On Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts and coffee to veterans and active duty military members.


Krispy Kreme is one of a number of retailers offering Veterans Day freebies to those who’ve served in the military.

On Nov. 11, active duty military members and veterans can grab a free doughnut at participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide. And better yet, this special giveaway includes a free cup of coffee. So stop what you're doing and head immediately to your nearest Krispy Kreme. These sort of free giveaways don't come around too often, so make the most of them when they do.

The other great thing about this Veterans Day giveaway is that you don't need to purchase anything to qualify. A lot of these "free" events require some sort of qualifying purchase, which takes some of the shine off the whole thing. That's not the case here. Leave your cash at home.
