Each Veterans Day, Americans reflect on how veterans have served and sacrificed for this country, but that remains top of mind year-round at historic battlefields, memorials and military parks around the U.S.

More than 100 National Park Service sites are directly tied to the military, and all of them are free to visit on Veterans Day, a free entry day across the parks system.

“What better way to honor those who served their country than to visit a national park that preserves the places where they the belong?” the National Park Service asks on a list of military sites and national cemeteries under its umbrella.

  2. My father and I took my Vietnam War veteran grandfather to Washington D.C. a few years ago for the first time for him to see the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. He got drafted in the late 1960s and he got injured by shrapnel from a land mine (in addition to getting shot), so he got sent home and received a Purple Heart. However, 6 of his buddies didn’t make it back home, so before the trip he made a list of all of their names and where they were located on the wall. As he found each on the wall, he got very emotional knowing that he managed to come home (though injured), get married, have 3 sons, and live another 50 years, but 6 of his friends didn’t.

  3. I’d rather trade the Crypto market as its more profitable. I make an average of $15,000 per week even though I barely trade myself<<<<<<

    1. After watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mrs Linda Bradford Raschke started managing my investments now I make $20,567 weekly. God bless Mrs Lucy.

    2. Wow I didn’t know that I would be seeing other investors and beneficiaries of Mrs Linda Bradford Raschke , I’m a huge beneficiaries of hers . I have been trading with her for four years now.

    3. A friend of mine told me about this investment with Mrs Linda Bradford Raschke . I think this is the right time I start from here in Australia.

    4. Mrs Linda Bradford is my professional assistant, I have been trading with her for 10 months now… I’ve really made over $200,000 from her strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies.

  4. Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

    1. Who’s this professional , everyone is talking about ? I always see her post on top comment on every YouTube video I watched I’m interested how can I get in touch with Mrs Angelia Marie Brown ?
