Veterans Day is always observed on Nov. 11 with speeches and parades across the U.S. The holiday began as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. There are several events planned for the Texarkana area on Wednesday Nov. 11, to honor our local veterans.

Veterans Day is November 11 and many of America's restaurant chains and other businesses are saying "thank you" for the endless sacrifice that many of our men and women in uniform have made and continue to make to keep our country safe and free by providing free or reduced cost meals.
