Veterans Day Offers for 2014

As I left for work today the last thing I noticed was the framed poster I have on my wall of the film “Jarhead.” As I looked at it I smiled because I realized how close we are to Veterans Day. Honestly, I get more excited Offersabout Veterans Day then I do for Thanksgiving. Why would someone who hasn’t served in the military get so excited for Veterans Day? Well, its long story, but you will learn more about that at a later time. Our form will kick off Veterans Day Weekend on November 7th with a free cookout for Veterans. A lot of people wonder why we don’t do this on Veterans Day, and it’s actually quite simple. There is so much going on for Veterans on the 11th that we want our Vets to be able to enjoy everything that is offered. Plus, why not take more than one day to celebrate Veterans? Obviously we want as many Veterans as possible to stop by our cookout, but we want to let you know about what else is going on this Veterans Day.
