The Americana Hosts A Week of Events for Veterans Day
This Veterans Day (Sunday, November 11), our nation will take the time to give thanks to those men and women that have served our country and protected our freedom. One local Baltimore bar has committed itself to this commendable group of individuals and opened its doors to them as a gathering place throughout the year, and especially in the days leading up to Veterans Day.
The Americana, located off of Canton Square in Canton, is owned and operated by US Marine Alex van Breukelen. Over the past 15 months the bar has collected a following of over 500 US military veterans, who use the drinkery as a place to connect with other vets, network and give back to the community.
This week, The Americana has been hosting a series of events to give back to veterans. Check out some of the upcoming events below, and for more information visit out the bar's website.
