Local Roswell Ga Veterans Day Specials

by Tania Gardère MacLeod

Calling all veterans and active-duty heroes in Georgia! This Veterans Day, let’s celebrate YOU and everything you’ve done for our great nation!

Now, before I give away all of the specials, I wanted to share some of the history behind Veterans Day and WHY it's celebrated on November 11th.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, it was when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Read the full article here:

Now, on with the special savings for our veterans. I’m proud to be part of a community that shows appreciation for our servicemen and women. While Veteran's Day is actually tomorrow, I wanted to get you this list today, so you can plan accordingly and take advantage of these specials.
