The difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WASV) — Memorial Day honors military personnel who died in service. Veterans Day celebrates all who have served in the military, living or deceased. Instead of wishing someone a 'Happy Memorial Day' — a well-intentioned message that may not be received with its intended meaning if someone is grieving — people who work with Veterans' groups suggest something like this: 'Thank you for your service and the sacrifices of those you served with.'

SCAD SERVE Community Fund awards $2 million in grants
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WASV) — The Savannah College of Art and Design is making a major investment in its hometown communities. The University has awarded nearly 2 million dollars in grants to nonprofits in Savannah and Atlanta through the SCAD Serve Community Fund. This initiative is part of SCAD's ongoing 10-million-dollar commitment to strengthening local communities. Recipients include America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia and the City of Savannah. The funding will help expand public safety measures, upgrade technology for workforce training, create a new community space at Greenbriar and launch a mobile grocery store. Mary Jane Crouch, Executive Director of America's Second Harvest says, 'SCAD's not only going to help us fund the project, they're also going to help us design the truck inside and outside. The interior and exterior. Classes are gonna help us design it. Where should the freezers go? Where should the coolers go? And things like that. I'm sure they'll get involved in helping us find the different locations and then hopefully — their SCAD student's we'll be able to come and volunteer.' SCAD says this is just the first round of grants with more to come. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
