KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— In honor of Veterans Day, Pilot salutes those who’ve served by extending a free meal* to military service members and their families on Nov. 11 at participating Pilot, Flying J and One9 Fuel Network travel centers nationwide.
“We are deeply grateful to our nation’s veterans and their families for their sacrifice and service and consider it a privilege to express our thanks with a complimentary meal at our stores on Veterans Day,” said Brad Anderson, chief operating officer at Pilot. “With our guests’ generous support, Pilot will continue making a lasting difference for service members and their families. We take pride in and appreciate our many veteran team members and are thankful to be able to give back in such a meaningful way by helping other veterans find rewarding careers.”
According to a company press release, Pilot will also continue its long-standing support of Call of Duty Endowment with a $100,000 donation to kickstart this year’s round-up campaign** and invites guests to join in contributing to Call of Duty Endowment to help veterans transition into rewarding civilian careers after military service.
From Nov. 9 – 30, guests can choose to round up their in-store purchase to the nearest dollar at any participating Pilot, Flying J or One9 Fuel Network travel center.** All proceeds will be directly donated to Call of Duty Endowment. Since 2019, Pilot and its guests have raised over $4 million for Call of Duty Endowment, resulting in more than 7,000 successful veteran career placements.
