Have faith America. National Cheeseburger Day falls on September 18. That means there’s a free (or at least discounted) cheeseburger waiting for you somewhere in this great nation. (See below.)

No matter how refined your palate might be, a good, old-fashioned cheeseburger seems to satisfy! Especially on September 18.
