CHEAT TWEET: CBS Daytime honors #VeteransDay on 11/11/11 with themed episodes on #YR, #BandB, #TheTalk, #TPIR and #LMAD! http://bit.ly/uNcFjm

           The CBS Daytime schedule will honor our country’s veterans with themed episodes on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, THE TALK, THE PRICE IS RIGHT and LET'S MAKE A DEAL, Friday, Nov. 11, on the CBS Television Network.

On THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, while characters honor the holiday, war hero Chance (John Driscoll) learns that he has been given a special assignment and will be redeployed back to the Middle East after training.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL recruits real-life war heroes to be featured in a special episode.  Twenty men and women from all branches of the United States Armed Forces and from wars spanning from “The Battle of the Bulge” in World War II to the current war in Afghanistan come together to pay tribute to their fellow veterans.  Several characters, as well as the veterans, gather at Dayzee’s Café in honor of the brave men and women who protect and serve the United States of America. The guests are serenaded by country western crooner Beau Davidson, with a patriotic ballad that he composed titled “Blessed.” In addition, actor John McCook will appear in a PSA for missionserve.org, an organization which seeks to establish Veterans Day as a national day of service and celebration.

THE TALK has teamed up with Cheerios™ to bring cheer to military families with the USO.  Cheerios and THE TALK recognize that families of military service members serve alongside their deployed family member.  To honor that service, the show will feature the Raya family from Roseville, Calif.  The family will discuss their struggles with their father's deployment.  In addition, co-host Sheryl Underwood, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force Reserve, will also share her personal story of serving in the military and also how she now gives back by traveling oversees to perform her comedy routine for currently enlisted troops.

On THE PRICE IS RIGHT, host and former Marine Drew Carey welcomes servicemen and women from all five branches of the armed forces — the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard — when they make up the audience and are contestants on a special Veterans Day episode.  

LET’S MAKE A DEAL celebrates Veterans Day by having a show dedicated to all of the armed forces in America and beyond.  Veterans will either wear their uniforms from their days in the military or their favorite costume, and one veteran will participate in a surprise Big Deal. Host Wayne Brady, announcer Jonathan Mangum and model Tiffany Coyne will acknowledge the special occasion throughout the show.
