Today is Veterans Day—a perfect time to thank and remember an important veteran in your life.

Maybe your son or grandson is serving currently, or maybe a grandparent served years ago. Perhaps a loved one even lost his or her life while serving this country.

Whatever your connection, we'd like to see your notes of gratitude. Simply post a comment at the end of this story. You can also submit a photo of a special veteran in your life by clicking the green button below (please include the veteran's name, your relationship to him or her, and when and where he or she served).

Patch thanks those who have served, and those who share stories with us.
