The Georgia Veterans Day Association honors the service of all Veterans from all branches during peace and war. Each year, the GVDA selects one group of Veterans to pay special honors to. Our Official Theme for 2024 is: "Honoring our Airborne & Special Operations Forces" and our events will provide opportunities to learn more about these amazing men and women who have served our nation."
