Lee County-  Today is Veteran's Day, and South Georgians are already honoring the men and women who have fought for our country's freedom.

We talked to one army veteran who told us why veterans should always be remembered, and he says after September eleventh, Americans began to appreciate veterans and active military more.

Army Veteran, Franklin Brown, says, "After September eleventh, Americans united, and they begin to have much more respect and admiration for veterans."

Golden Corral Restaurant in Albany will be honoring all inactive and active military. You can eat for free Monday between the hours of five and nine, and you don't have to show Military I.D.
