Veterans Day events are taking place throughout Central MA

Service, sacrifice, and tradition are just a few of the characteristics displayed every day by our service men and women.

With that said, Veterans Day is when we appreciate everything the men and women of the armed forces have sacrificed and have done for our country, and there are plenty of ways to do so.

The events range from parades to breakfasts and other social gatherings.
