Remembering a Veteran Who Made a Difference in Your Life

Many people know someone who has died while serving this country—whether it’s a friend, a brother or sister, a parent or grandparent, or a husband or wife.

While these fallen soldiers should be celebrated, thanked and remembered throughout the year, Memorial Day is an especially good time to pay respects. Golden Valley Patch wants to help you do that: We’re asking readers to submit reflections and/or photos of veterans that played a key role in their lives.

You don't just have to do this on Memorial Day, you can do it anytime.  So share the link to the story and share your thoughts about someone who died for our country.

To leave a reflection, please add a comment below. To share a photo, click on “Add your photos and videos” to the right.
