Veterans Day 2012

Veterans Day is November 11.  The theme for 2012 is “Honoring All Who Served.” Veterans Day honors all American veterans, both living and dead but is largely intended to honor and thank living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime.

The library display case for November is highlighting books from the library collection that feature veteran’s issues. Some of the featured topics include: returning Veterans, women in the military, military careers, and personal stories of veterans from World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq.

This Veterans Day, please take the time to thank those friends and neighbors that have served our country.
