How to celebrate Veterans Day in a really big way!

We wanted to do something a little different in celebration of  Veterans Day this year. So, we did some Google searching and came up with a  number of links related to how you can support America’s veterans and their families as well as links where veterans can seek support.  Hope you’ll find the links useful 365 days a year, but first….you’ve really got to watch this video created by www.moments.org :
