(StatePoint) Veterans Day is coming, an annual opportunity for communities and families

to honor former U.S. service members. And as these heroes age, its important to keep theirstories and sacrices alive by listening and learning.

Here are some great ways to commemorate veterans this holiday:

Listen to a StoryYou may not think about it much, but everyone has a lesson to share and a story to offer.

World War II for example, which killed and injured more people than any other war in humanhistory, impacted an entire generation -- from soldiers on the frontlines of battle, to childrenat home participating in the war effort. Learn about both world history and your familys his-tory by talking to older relatives and friends about their experiences and trials. You may evenconsider tape recording the conversation so you can share the personal account with others.

If you have a story yourself, consider writing it down or retelling it at the next family gath-ering.

Read a War MemoirWhile reading and understanding the past is possible by delving into a standard-issue text-

book, there is nothing like an eyewitness account to get a true feel for a crucial time in history.

Such accounts can deliver a unique perspective on a familiar story.The tales you discover can help you better connect with history. One such book, the newly

released Terror Before Dawn: A Child At War, by Anne Raghnild Fagerberg and William

Sterling Williams, presents Fagerbergs account of her childhood experience during WorldWar II under Nazi rule in Norway.

Williams, Fagerbergs son, found her notes after she died of cancer in 1998. She had com-pleted her story shortly before she passed away. Though only a child during the war, Fagerbergdid what she could to contribute to winning the war, distributing newspapers and literature ofthe underground resistance movement.

The reections of a war survivor offer lessons about courage, survival, rebuilding andfreedom, says Williams. Her piece of history needed to be preserved.

More information can be found at such websites as www.amazon.com by searching forTerror Before Dawn.

Teach Your ChildrenNo one is too young to learn about and honor the past. While children might enjoy a holiday

parade, be sure to explain the true meaning of the day so they understand the reason for all thefanfare.

Many schools choose to honor veterans by inviting them to speak at assemblies and beforehistory classes. Find out what programs are happening at your school.

Visit www.va.gov/kids for ideas on how to talk to kids about war, history and the sacrice

of veterans.Dont let this Veterans Day pass by unrecognized. Take the time to honor the past.
