Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, commemorates the signing of the armistice that officially ended World War I in 1918.  The formal declaration put an end to the war on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.  Each November 11th, American’s honor its military veterans throughout the country and overseas with parades, ceremonies and other events.  This year several businesses are offering special deals or discounts to our veterans.

The following is a list of business that are honoring our veterans in special ways:
