“Military Appreciation Days” 2015 is Upon Us!

We sincerely appreciate our military and their families, everyday. We join the rest of the nation on the eleventh of November to celebrate and honor our veterans and current members of the military. In November of 1919, President Wilson proclaimed it to be Armistice Day; which later became Veteran’s Day.

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” – President Wilson

We still celebrate nearly 100 years later! Nearly 100 area businesses offer discounts to our military before and after November 11th. Some of the discounts are offered year round! Our local newspapers are great resources for the long list of businesses honoring our military.  Following are links to the articles highlighting our locally offered discounts:
