Local Deals for Veterans in Northwest Arkansas Veterans Day 2020

Nov 11, 2020 is Veterans Day

By Kara Ault, Macaroni Kid Fayetteville and Rogers-Bentonville Publisher November 11, 2020
November 11th marks the day we honor the men and women in the armed forces who have fought and sacrificed to preserve our freedom.  Originally proclaimed Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I, it was renamed Veterans Day, to include American veterans of all wars, in 1954 after World War II. Please join Macaroni Kid of Northwest Arkansas in showing our gratitude for all our overseas troops and veterans who have served our country. My grandpa was a World War II veteran who proudly served as a tailgunner on a B17. I am so grateful for his service and all who serve."Today, we want you to know that we know you chose to sacrifice your time, your family, your friends, your life, and YOU so we could live our lives with the reassurance of safety and freedom. Today, we want you to know that you count.  That you will always count. Today, we want you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers. Today, we want you to know that we SALUTE you and THANK YOU today and every day."
