Who doesn't love a parade -- especially when all the marching is to honor a worthy reason?

Given how many military personnel chanced their lives in the name of our country, Veterans Day couldn't be more meaningful. The heros, living and dead, of all the wars for which the U.S. played a part are commemorated during this federal holiday, also known as Armistice Day. 

So, to give a special nod to the men and women who went to battle, take in a parade near you on November 11.

Or, if you missed the marching in your area,  do something special to always remember, never forget.
