For generations, brave American men and women have given their time, and
in many sad instances even their lives, to protect the qualities that
make America the nation it is. This year, IHOP® restaurants
are doing something special to express gratitude for these courageous
men and women.
On Veteran’s Day, November 11, participating IHOP Restaurants around the
nation will be honoring the brave men and women who have served, or are
serving, in the United States Military by offering them free Red, White
and Blue pancakes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Red, White and Blue pancakes, a patriotic twist on a classic IHOP
restaurant favorite, features world famous Buttermilk Pancakes with
blueberry and strawberry toppings and whipped cream.
“Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the commitment and
sacrifice of our Veterans and Active-Duty military members,” said Julia
Stewart, Chairman and CEO, DineEquity Inc., and Interim President,
International House of Pancakes, LLC. “It will be a privilege to welcome
and serve these brave Americans who have served, and continue to serve
our country.”
At some locations, the Red, White and Blue pancakes will be featured as
part of a free combo plate including eggs, bacon and hashed browns for
past and present members of the military.
“Our franchisees and their team members are all looking forward to this
opportunity to say thank you,” said Ms. Stewart. We are truly honored
that these heroes would choose to spend part of their Veteran’s Day
celebration with us here at IHOP.”
All veterans and active-duty military members must show proof of their
service in order to receive an order of Red White and Blue pancakes.
Valid identification includes wearing one’s uniform or any of the
following: U.S. Uniform Services ID Card, U.S. Uniform Services Retired

Tags.
Promotion varies by location. See your local participating restaurant
