Veterans Day, a day to honor those who have served our country.

That includes places like the post office.
And if you want to get out and show your appreciation,
there are events happening all around us today.

is planned for the Evergreen Washelli Cemetery.
The free family-friendly event will feature music and guest speakers.
The flag placement will begin at 10 a.m.
A memorial service is planned for 11.

And in Marysville, a program will honor veterans and their families.
That's happening at American Legion Post 178 on Cedar Avenue.
