365 Reasons to Love Falls Church. Reason #10: Home to Veterans

Thank you to all of our Veterans and those still fighting to keep our Country safe and free.

I'm a little late getting this out today. Sometimes being a wife, mother and business owner overwhelms me, but if it wasn't for our Veteran's who knows if I'd even have the great opportunities and privilege's that I have today!

Ever wondered why we have so many homes built in the 50's in Falls Church? That there are such a multitude of 2 and 3 bedroom 1 and 2 level cape cod or rambler homes? After World War II there were many homes built for the GI's returning home. I recall a neighbor, Josephine telling me her husband and her had paid $8000 for their 1 level, 3 bed, 1 bath home. They'd finished the attic later to help give their three girls a space of their own to play. Suffice to say there are many Veteran's living in our area!
