It's a very small thing to say "thank you," but it means so much. We reserve November 11 each year as our time to say thank to the veterans who served our country over the years. The day, which commemorates the armistice that ended World War I, is the rare holiday not sullied by commercialism. It's a quiet day of reflection for those who deserve all the thanks you can give, even if they refuse to ask for it. Do you have a veteran in your life? Take a moment to publicly thank them here. Just add a pic of your mom, dad, brother, sister, grandpa, etc. with a note about when they served. Or leave a comment below to say thank you. To add a photo, click the "Upload" button above.

The official Veterans Day parade, organized by the American Legion, featured marching bands, ROTC groups, troops from the four branches of the military and tanks and trucks. This parade was followed by another group of veterans who were protesting the war, chanting slogans such as "Chicken hawks can beat their drums, but they never face the guns." The sidewalks were thinly populated with onlookers and passersby, many of whom clapped the servicemembers to show their gratitude, and others of whom came with anti-war groups.

This Veterans Day there were about 1.5 million active-duty service members currently serving in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard combined, and many more Americans served but have since retired from military service. President Barack Obama addressed these troops and all of us when he issued a proclamation for the Veterans Day holiday. As he says, "The selflessness of our service members is unmatched, and they remind us that there are few things more fundamentally American than doing our utmost to make a difference in the lives of others."
