PHOTOS: Honor the Veteran in Your Life

We are grateful to those who have served our country over the years and we want to say thank you by offering this space on Patch to honor our veterans. As we celebrate Veteran’s Day tomorrow and all month long, we’ll keep this gallery on the Patch homepage so you can add your photos and stories about the veteran or veterans in your life.

Please let readers know the name of the vet you are honoring, the division of service and any personal details you want to add. Don’t forget to add a photo!
