Veterans Day celebrations in North Georgia began just after election day this year, but most of the events honoring America's servicemen and service women will take place on Friday.
AccessWDUN will be attending a number of events, but we can't be everywhere, so if you have a special photo you'd like to share, please send it to us at [email protected]. We'll add it to our Veterans Day photo gallery.
