Veterans Day: Submit your photos of those who have served

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Saturday is Veterans Day, but because it falls on a weekend, the federal holiday is being observed on Friday.

The holiday began in 1919 as Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918.

But in 1954, the federal government made it a day to celebrate all American veterans.

Submit a photo of a veteran you want to honor in the photo gallery above. Include their name, rank and branch.
