Despite this tight-knit town’s small population, there’s a strong, traditionally-held appreciation for America’s military personnel. This annual parade and ceremony features patriotic and stirring music, heartfelt speeches, and a wreath-laying custom, all recognizing the heroism of living veterans. Originally celebrated as Armistice Day, to commemorate the end of World War I, this event, and others across the nation like it, show true appreciation for one’s service. townoffranklinnc.com
