Beyond wearing those little red poppies on Veteran's Day and plunking in a few coins, there are many ways to thank those who have served our country.
- Show up at the parade in your area and give a hand to those who served
- Tell your children and grandchildren what it means to you
- Visit a patriotic museum with the family and discuss patriotism
- Honor America and respect her flag.
- Watch and wait for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and be thankful in your heart for the Stars and Stripes and all they represent.
The Carlyle Suites and Savoy Suites Hotels released the following announcement in recognition of America's military service people and veterans: If you are a Veteran or Active Duty member of our country’s armed forces, THANK YOU!!
