This is Buffalo in the middle of January. We'll take it.

Honoring Those Who Served and Serve Today

Veteran's Day - Buffalo Naval Park 

Originally celebrated in 1919 as Armistice Day to mark the anniversary of the end of World War I, Veteran's Day became a national holiday in 1938. Today there is a Veteran's Day celebration at the Buffalo and Erie Co. Naval and Military Park. In addition to a vast amount of historical information regarding this regions contribution to various war efforts, you will find some rather impressive military artifacts. These range from photos and medals, to an actual submarine, a destroyer and cruiser, the USS Little Rock, which can be camped on over night.
