For Veterans Day 2016, we asked children across the country to express their thanks to our nation’s millions of veterans by entering the Paralyzed Veterans of America 13th annual National Veterans Day Poster and Poem Contest.
 
This 2016 contest theme: Celebrating 70 Years of Service. Using their own words, images, and creativity, children shared how they feel they would celebrate the service of veterans. Poster winners are below. See this link for the poem winners.
