Uncle. Sister. Grandfather. Neighbor. The odds are fairly high that one of those people--or somone else you know--has served in a branch of the United States military.

On Friday, Nov. 11, the country celebrates Veterans Day, and Patch wants to help readers honor the veterans in their lives by telling the community about those men and women who've served their country through the years.

Upload photos of family members and H-F friends who were part of the armed services and share a little bit about why you're proud of them.

Here's your chance to thank those veterans for their service and remind everyone in Homewood and Flossmoor how important they are to the country.
