The B&B’s for Vets program is going global. West Virginia innkeeper Kathleen Panek came up with the idea, offering a free night to veterans in 2008 at her Gillum House in Shinnston. Now she says nearly 900 inns in the U.S. alone will be taking part in the Veterans Day program. Hotels in six other countries have signed on as well, including Canada, Mexico, Namibia, Africa and France. Veterans Day is tomorrow. Many of the participating inns will be offering free stays tonight. Find out more at www.bnbsforvets.org.
