Thank You Veterans!

We're publishing a Veterans Day Photo Gallery today, and we'd love for you to participate.

You are welcome to add a photo of a veteran you know, or a Veterans Day event you attend. If you do not want to upload the photos yourself, you can email them to me and I will post them for you: sunde.farquhar@patch.com

Here are some stories we've published about the great veterans in our community. We hope you enjoy them!

The veterans leave Tuesday on a trip that was organized by the Honor Flight Network, a non-profit group that arranges for war veterans to visit national military monuments free of charge.

French Legion of Honor recipient Norbert Swierz escaped from a P.O.W. camp three times during WWII. He is one of two Palm Harbor men who have been recognized with the French Legion of Honor.

Hundreds packed the St. Pete-Clearwater airport late Tuesday night to greet the 70 WWII vets who were honored with a free trip to Washington D.C.

Local scouts place flags on military graves for Memorial Day.

The third West Central Florida Honor Flight took more than two dozen Tampa Bay WWII veterans on a complementary trip to Washington, DC.

Hundreds attend morning observance at Palm Harbor cemetery.

This was the 5th year of the event that is sponsored by Congressman Gus Bilirakis.
