Cities across America are celebrating Veterans Day today with parades and ceremonies. People in their communities are congregating in schools, town halls, and public venues to celebrate those among them and those who have passed for serving in our military and keeping America free.
Schools across America organized Veterans Day events. As students have the holiday off, many of these events occurred yesterday.
