“We Gotta Get Out of This Place”

In keeping with the message of healing, I cannot think of a better way to put it than the way this Iraq veteran did....

Flags Still Stands For Freedom has announced its 3rd annual “Veterans Day Telethon”. This virtual event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6th, 2010 for 24 hours to show support for our troops both past and present and is the only one of its kind for three years running using new media technology.

Among the primary objectives of the Veterans Day National Committee is to promote the observance of Veterans Day nationwide. We do this with our poster, teacher guide and other products. This year, we have a new resource available – a Veterans Day video explaining why and how we honor Veterans – not just on Veterans Day but throughout the year.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced today the designation of 54 regional Veterans Day observances. These sites are recognized as model events for the observance of Veterans Day on November 11. “On Veterans Day we celebrate the lives and legacy of America’s 23 million living Veterans,” said Shinseki. “From the National Veterans Day observance to regional celebrations nationwide, I encourage all Americans to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our Veterans for their service.”

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a place where everyone, regardless of opinion, can come together and remember and honor those who served.
