Honoring Service to Country


News organizations with ties to military communities are showcasing Veterans Day on this federal holiday.

The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., shares the story of a man who might be the youngest WW II veteran. James Clark, who "looked big for his age," enlisted in 1945 -- when he was 13. The front page promised Web coverage when "Special forces will honor a fallen comrade today."

The Forum of Fargo, N.D., brought together a veteran from Vietnam and one from Iraq -- "Brothers in Arms." It posted video of their conversation.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk used a large 1973 photo from "Hanoi Hilton" to illustrate Day 4 in a series on POWs. Seven prisoners of war now living in Hampton Roads tell their stories in an online package.
