Honestly, seems really tacky to me to be looking for discounts on a day which is meant for reflection on the men and women who didnt make it back home. I served in Iraq where my convoy was ambushed and I lost 5 personnel under my leadership. The last thing I want to do is be eating for free knowing that 5 lives I commanded never returned home.

Look at it like this:

Armed Forces Day: Honoring those who serve now
Veterans Day: Honoring those who served in the past
Memorial Day: Honoring those who served and gave the ultimate price

Regardless of the definition, it is apparent that whoever put the article together is not an English speaker.
