Mark your calendars for the Veterans Day Parade, set to take place Saturday, November 4th, in downtown Abilene. The parade will follow its usual route.
The Taylor County Veterans Services Office will hold the first Big Country Veterans Appreciation Feast at the Taylor County Expo Center on Friday, November 5.
As a sign of 'thanks', many restaurants in the Abilene area offer free (or discounted) meals for veterans and active military on Veterans Day, November 11th.
The Big Country Veteran's organizations have combined their resources to honor the Veteran women of West Texas. The week ends with a parade and barbecue.
November 11th is known as Veterans Day. In my opinion, every day should be Veterans Day, not in spirit, but in action. The sacrifices that our Veterans have made for the freedoms we enjoy deserve to be recognized each and every day.
Our military veterans have given so much of themselves to protect us that it seems impossible to repay them. Here are a few businesses that will be offering special Veteran's Day discounts.
