Image removed.While Memorial Day honors those who have died protecting our country, Veterans Day is a day to show our gratitude to the twenty-two million living men and women who have served our country around the world in the name of liberty and democracy.

Veterans will be honored in Ohio and across our country on Friday and throughout the weekend. "On this Veterans Day, please take some time to reach out and show your gratitude to a veteran. Rake their leaves. Take them a home-cooked meal. Send them a thank you card," said Congresswoman Kaptur.

There are currently 100,000 veterans serving at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who work tirelessly for the well-being of our fellow veterans. Please click here for more information on Veterans Day and the services offered to veterans by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
