Posted by: Veterans Day celebrates active duty and retired men and women who chose to serve their country with pride. Here is a list of some of the festivities we found and they include breakfasts, parades, ceremonies, marketplace vendors, car shows music and entertainment.
We urge everyone to show their appreciation for the members of our armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day that honors those who are no longer with us, Veterans Day is a recognition of those who serve(d) and it is a celebration of life!
