Veterans Day is an opportunity to remind ourselves of the sacrifices made by the men and women who have fought to defend our country. One of the best ways for civilians to understand the experiences of military service is to read stories about it. Here are 17 books for a range of ages depicting the experiences of veterans and their families.
For many of us, Memorial Day stands as the unofficial kickoff to summer, an opportunity for BBQs and fun in the sun. But the true significance of this holiday is much greater. In honor of U.S. military personnel who have died in service, we offer a variety of soldier stories for all ages.
