Allen County's veterans plan to spend today in a variety of ways. Some will attend honorary lunches. Others will visit a family member's grave. Some will spend the day with friends, and others will reserve the day for silence and reflection.
Regardless of how they choose to recognize Nov. 11, many of the region's veterans say Veterans Day is one of the year's most important holidays. They call themselves the lucky ones and urge the Fort Wayne community to keep honoring the soldiers who are not here to celebrate.
