2011 Veterans Day Tributes and Events

It is very important for kids to know how we got our freedoms, and the people who have sacrificed so that we can enjoy the lives we live today. This is exactly what Veterans Day is all about.
Veterans Day this year falls on Friday November 11th.
Below are some Veterans Day Tributes you can take your families to show respect to our veterans. If you know of an event that I have not listed here, please email me at contact@enjoyutah.org. 
All events take place on Friday November 11th, unless otherwise specified.
Thank A SoldierThere are many ways you can tell the soldiers and veterans thank you for the freedoms you enjoy. They sacrifice their lives, and their families sacrifice time away from them, to give you the freedom you have today. Learn about many ways you can show your gratitude.
