Celebrating Our Veterans

Whether you call it Veterans Day, Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, November 11 is a day to reflect on the service of all veterans and honor their sacrifices. This day is especially important in our Military Families  and Military Wives communities, where they rely on the support and friendship from other military family members and veterans::

"So glad I could be a part of this lovely group of military wives. Thank your DH/SO/DF for their service. And thank all of you for being such wonderful supporters. The job is not easy but so worth it. I'm so proud to say I'm not only a Veteran but a supporter of all." -- oklamom2b

On our Politics Today message board, they've put aside their differences to remember the service of veterans both on the board and in their offline lives:

"To this day, I consider myself fortunate that all of my brothers, bil's and husband came home from Vietnam and my dad came home from WWII. I am particularly fortunate that my DS came home from Iraq earlier this year. All came home in sound mind and body. All came home, because they were fortunate enough to serve with others who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thanks to all of our fellow posters who have served." -- sopall1953

"In Canada, we remember our veterans/military on November 11th as well. We call it Remembrance Day. So to all the veterans out there in North America and all the men and women currently serving... we honour you. Thank you and God Bless." -- suemox
