Show Us Your Heroes for Veterans Day!

Upload a photo or video of you or a loved one to be featured on Veterans Day.

Friday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day, the single date each year when America honors and recognizes the sacrifices of the men and women who served their country.

Did you or a loved one serve?

If so, there have got to be some good photos or videos to show it. So we invite you to dig through that old shoebox and share.

Are you or were you a tough staff sergeant? Surely, someone in basic training took your picture looking stunning with standard-issue glasses.

Whether you were a Marine in Vietnam, an Air Corps crewman who flew out of England, an Army nurse in Iraq or a soldier who served in Korea, Germany or Afghanistan, Patch wants to see your photos and videos, and hear your story.

Is there a photo showing you serving the veteran community? We want to see that too.

Simply upload your photos clicking the “Submit Your Photos” button above the main image and we will feature it on Veterans Day.  Make sure to add a caption telling us about veteran and tell us that service member's story. You can also embed a YouTube video by pasting a link.

We've started it off with a photo of Kirkland Patch editor Greg Johnston's maternal grandfather, a Marine in WWI, and some shots of vets he's taken around town.

So please share your images -- and never forget!
