Honor Your Veteran: Post a Photo of Them Here

Uncle. Sister. Grandfather. Neighbor. The odds are fairly high that one of those people—or someone else you know—has served in a branch of the U.S. military.

On Sunday, the country celebrates Veterans Day, and Downers Grove 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 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 Plainfield how important they are to the country.

Send your photos to amanda@patch.com or upload them straight to this article.

(Don't forget you can also give the vet in your life a shout-out by including a comment in the box below this story.)
