What are some of your favorite Veterans Day images?

The time-honored tradition will be celebrated on Friday, November 11 in 2016, commemorating some of the biggest heroes in U.S. history. Each year, the nation looks at those who have shed their blood, sweat and tears to defend our proud nation, demonstrating the highest degree of courage that a man or woman could muster.

Different parts of the country will be partaking in a number of events that you can check out here. Organizing an event will help you get National Veterans Day posters, official recognition from the Secretary of Veteran Affairs, a message from the Secretary for your event and more.

Usually, events are recognized by particular cities, counties, towns or municipal authorities. Find out who is planning an event near you and show up to express your support.
