Veterans Day is a time to honor and reflect upon all Veterans past and present. It is a time to honor our heroes, our family members and our friends for their bravery and sacrifices they have made for this great country.

Over the years, social media has made it easier for individuals of all ages to connect and communicate through platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. These social platforms provide another outlet that individuals can use to reach out to the modern generation of Veterans.

With Veterans Day just around to corner, the U.S. Army would like people to connect and drive conversation so that social media can help give this important day the attention it deserves.

To help start the conversation, the Army has released the “Social Media Roundup – 5 ways to highlight Veterans Day on social media” that includes: branding, feature user content, link to outside content, Flickr photo albums and Twitter and hashtags.
