Is there a Veteran you want to honor on Veterans Day? Or a story you’d like to share? A tribute, song, or poem to offer? If so, let us know and plan to do it on the world’s first-ever Vet-A-Thon, a 24-hour live stream Veterans Day event from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 11. The celebration will honor veterans nationwide and offer special features every hour for a full day, including guest hosts from across the globe, community tributes, veterans’ stories, military history, GI humor, Armed Forces trivia, archival videos and interviews, giveaways and more. You can participate in the Vet-A-Thon via Zoom. Let us know when you want to join us, and we’ll make sure to put you on the program! Sponsorships are available.
