Local Meal Deals for Veterans

In honor of Veterans Day 2012, a few local restaurants are offering discounts for military service members.

Since 1919 we have been celebrating Veterans Day. It was President Woodrow Wilson who first introduced Armistice Day in honor of our military.

In 1954, Congress helped to rename the holiday “Veterans Day,” and ever since, we have used this title to hold parades, give thanks, and honor the men and women who have served in the United States military.

North Andover will be holding its Veterans Day Parade today beginning at 9:30am at the First & Main Plaza. It will stop at the Patriots Memorial Park for service before heading towards the VFW on Main Street where a flag will be raised.
