A Tulsa business hopes to honor more than a hundred heroes by making Veterans Day a much longer celebration. That’s why Toms Men’s Haircuts is thanking veterans for their service by providing free service.
“It’s just our way to give back,” said Toms Men’s Haircuts owner Justin Moore.
But doing that on Veterans Day alone just didn’t cut it. “I just felt that we needed to go from one day of free haircuts on Veterans Day to a week-long because we want to reach as many people as possible,” said Moore.
For a third year, Toms is giving free haircuts to heroes. Garrett Ford is among the grateful recipients. “It makes you feel special, you know,” said Ford.
Ford is a Blackhawk Pilot who has served in the Army National Guard for 10 years. “I fly the helicopter for whatever the mission requires. It can be anything from cleaning up after storms to transporting the Governor or Senators to troop transport. You name it,” said Ford.
He’s a husband, father, and police officer too.
“Growing up, it was always a dream of mine to serve the country. Being part of something that’s bigger than yourself is cool; it’s the best decision I ever made,” said Ford.
