Operation Homefront-Georgia announces plans for a spectacular car and bike show this Veterans Day weekend. The event, Operation Then and Now will feature hundreds of antique and collector cars, bikes, motorcycles, military vehicles and military reenactors from around the southeastern United States. Proceeds to benefit Georgia military families dealing with financial crisis, deployment and injury.

Open to cars, bikes and military vehicles from 1914 to present day, this event will set the standard in car shows for the future. Plan to meet our event partners, Charlie & Scott The Car Guys as seen on NBC channel 38 and HIGH Octane Radio on 92.5 The Bear along with other special surprise guests.

Bring your camera to preserve the beautiful cars and bikes and don't forget to have your picture taken with a Blackhawk helicopter and military humvee.

Make plans now to join us for a great day of family fun filled with antique & collector cars, motorcycles and military vehicles November 10 at the Coweta County Fairgrounds in Newnan.

Proceeds benefit Georgia military families through programs offered by Operation Homefront-Georgia. Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home. A nonprofit 501(c)3 founded after September 11, Operation Homefront leads more than 4,000 volunteers in 31 chapters nationwide. Since its inception, Operation Homefront has provided critical assistance to more than 45,000 military families in need.
