SHARE: Say Thanks to a Veteran with Pics and Stories

Share pics and stories to honor San Ramon and Danville veterans.

Yes, Veteran's Day was Sunday, but I wanted to give the community a chance to honor the veterans in the community on San Ramon and Danville Patch.

One of my favorite stories I've done with Patch was back in November 2010, when I wrote about Matthew Carhart, an Iraq War veteran who had moved to San Ramon and was tansitioning into his non-military life.

Danville lost one of their own last year, when Cpl. Joshua "Chachi" Corral was killed serving in Afghanistan. But Danville has rallied behind the Corral family with a number of fundraisers to help support the Corral's and other military families.

Share you pics and stories of the veterans in your life. When did they serve? What motivated them to join the armed forces? Why are you proud of them? Let us know in the comments section.

David et al: Here's what the FAA said: "Radar replays show an F18 flew right over DanvilleRead More northeast-bound at 3,500 feet at exactly 10:45, and then started to climb, which would create more noise as the pilot applied more engine power."
