ALBANY, GA -- Businesses around Albany are also doing their part to honor veterans Thursday.

Attractions like the Flint RiverQuarium  are offering free admission all day. Flint RiverQuarium’s Sherrell Lamar say it’s important to give back to community. “They’re out there serving our country and trying to make it better for us. So why not give back, why not show them we appreciate them,” says Lamar.
