A hilarious parody combining the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising with Nintendo's Mario Brothers characters. This clever "Iwo Jima Mario Brothers Style" mashup brings gaming humor to a historic moment while maintaining respect for veterans.

To all those that have served, given their lives, and those that continue to serve, thank you. Happy Veterans Day 2012. United States USA

To all the Veterans and soldiers that continue to serve this great country, Thank you. On this Veterans Day (and yesterday) please take time to thank those who continue to protect your freedoms.

A father's powerful handwritten note explains why schools should observe Veterans Day by honoring those who served. This dad's respectful yet firm message about keeping his child home perfectly captures why this holiday deserves recognition.
