Honor the men and women who serve at one of Savannah's Veterans Day events
The U.S. honors its veterans of military service and those who died in the country's war every year on Nov. 11, the day allied forces signed the armistice with Germany to end World War I in 1918. Savannah's own Victory Drive is a nearly 20-mile memorial to the city's men who died in World War I.
This year will mark the 104th year of observance and there are a number of events scheduled for the community to show its appreciation to those who served and those who gave "their last full measure."
