11 WAYS TO CELEBRATE VETERANS DAY

November 11th serves as a dedicated day each year to recognize and honor those who have served and continue to serve in our military. This day should not be mistaken for Memorial Day, which is specifically for remembering the service members who have lost their lives. 


Veterans Day presents a wonderful chance for civilians to learn about the ongoing sacrifices made by service members and their families throughout the year. It also offers unique activities for Veterans and their families that they may not experience regularly.
