Lamont McClure and the Department of Veteran’s Affairs are providing a list of scheduled events to honor our veterans. Veteran’s Day is November 11th. Veteran’s Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
“The men and women in our armed forces have made many sacrifices to protect the lives and freedoms of Americans,” says Lamont McClure. “It’s important that we take time to reflect and honor their service to our country.”
