This is Governor Steve Beshear ... About Kentucky.
In an effort to honor Kentucky’s current and former military servicemen and women,
my administration has launched the 11-11-11 initiative.
Veterans Day this year falls on November 11, 2011 – or 11-11-11. Now we have launched
a new website to help you find ways to honor veterans in Kentucky.
You can visit the page by going to governor.ky.gov/11-11-11.
On this website, you can search for veterans’ events around the state, submit your community’s
event for veterans, and read personal stories about some of our state’s most outstanding
military servicemen and women.
And if you are a veteran, please send us your own story. I would encourage all veterans
across our Commonwealth and beyond to submit their own essays about their work in the armed
forces.
You can also write a message for veterans living in the state’s veterans nursing homes.
The website will collect notes left by the public, and we’ll deliver them to the state’s
three nursing homes.
We can never repay the huge debt we owe our veterans or fully express our appreciation
to them, but we hope this website is a resource to help all of us recognize and honor their
sacrifices.
