Honoring our Veterans

November 11 is a special day in the US to honor our country's veterans.  It is also a time to remember those men and women who gave their lives defending our country.
Veterans Day is to be known as "a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good." - U.S. Dept of Veteran Affairs, http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp
