Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans Day and many companies are finding ways to honor America's heroes. QSR reports that Dunkin' will be offering veterans and active-duty military members a free donut of their choice on November 11th. No purchase necessary.

Dunkin' has a history of supporting the U.S. armed forces. Through a program called Dunkin’ Coffee for Our Troops, the company sends a case of coffee to deployed troops each week, based on nominations from friends, family members, or the troops themselves. Since 2003, Dunkin' has shipped more than 300,000 pounds of coffee to troops overseas.

This year, Dunkin' is also donating $10,000 to A Million Thanks. That's a non-profit organization that supports active military, reserve, and veterans by sending them letters of encouragement. This is the second year in a row that Dunkin' has teamed up with A Million Thanks.

You have the chance to show your appreciation to those who have served by writing digital letters via Dunkin’s Instagram story on Monday, November 9th. The letters will be printed and mailed to active military members via A Million Thanks. On top of that, you can treat veterans and active service members with e-gift cards in special Veterans Day designs. Check them out here.
