Happy Veterans Day from The Morning Thing!

Today, The Morning Thing celebrated Veterans Day by talking about the history of this special day and sharing ways that we can honor the brave women and men who have served our country.

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, is a tribute to military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Not to be confused with Memorial Day, which honors those who died while in service, Veterans Day honors all military veterans, including those still with us
