This Friday is when the United States celebrates Veterans Day. For a history of the celebration, visit the Department of Veterans Affairs.
If you are looking for ways to remember and/or thank veterans this year, the American Red Cross is co-sponsoring the Holiday Mail for Heroes program, where they "collect holiday cards from regular citizens all across the country and
distribute them to service members, veterans, and their families." Holiday cards can be sent to the program at the following address, and must be postmarked before December 9th in order to reach recipients in time:
Holiday Mail For Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
For more information about Holiday Mail for Heroes, visit the Red Cross webpage.
The Arkansas State Library will be closed on Friday, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day. Normal hours will resume on Monday.
