Celebrate Veterans Day in Buffalo

Buffalo Staff — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:00:45 +0000

Veterans Day is on Sunday, November 11, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate this holiday besides just having off of work the next day. Here are some events that are going on in Buffalo this year for Veterans Day.
