Area veterans and military members can take advantage of extra deals for Monday’s Veterans Day holiday, some beginning this weekend.

Proof of military service is generally required; the forms of proof vary by business. Often they include photo military ID or discharge papers.

Here’s a list of the more than two dozen deals:

1. Kohl’s

Kohl’s stores typically offers 15 percent off purchased made on Monday with a valid military ID, military dependent ID or Veteran ID. Today Kohl’s will double that discount to 30 percent, the company told the Dayton Daily News.

Instead of a discount, all Gordman’s stores will give 5% of Monday’s sales up to $50,000 to Pets for Patriots, which pairs pets with veterans.

3. Amazon

Active duty, veterans and reserve personnel can sign up for a year of Prime membership for $79 now through Monday, $40 off the normal price.

4. AMC Theaters

Get a free large popcorn now through Monday with the purchase of a military-priced movie ticket for a showing after 4 p.m. A free AMC Stubs membership is required.

5. Buckle

Shoppers at Buckle can get 10% off and free shipping with a minimum purchase of $129 now through Nov. 18. Military members can register for the discount online. The 10% discount is a year-round deal.

6. Great Clips

Veterans and current military members can get a free haircut Monday or a free haircut card to use at a later date. The haircuts are redeemable through the end of the year.
