Images: #TBT Gallery remembers our veterans
In this week's #TBT gallery, we take a look back at veterans, both on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Veterans Day, which celebrates the service of all veterans, is Nov. 11. Memorial Day, in May, aims to remember those who gave their lives in service. These photos, mostly from the early 1970s, show veterans taking part in parades and ceremonies in the suburbs.
