Share a photo, or story, of the vets in your life on Canton Patch.
As Canton takes time on 11/11/11 to honor those who serve and have served our country, take a moment to thank the vets in your life. As many folks enjoy a day off from work, or school, others will attend services or an American Legion breakfast to honor the sacrifice the members of the armed forces have made. Here on Canton Patch, you can upload a photo of the veteran in your life. Friends and family, young and old–share a photo, a comment or a genuine note of thanks to the men and women who serve and have served. Feel free to add photos, stories or comments to this article below. Canton Patch wants to recognize veterans of all ages and wars. Thank you to all of our veterans, for your service and sacrifices!
