“Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in Washington, DC,” Barack Obama wrote.

“To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day.”

He added, “One of the honors of serving as President is having the Presidential Challenge Coin — a memento that I have handed out as President and in the years since to the folks I meet who have served our country or their communities. I was grateful to be able to greet veterans who served in Korea and Vietnam as they arrived in DC this weekend, and give them a personal token of my gratitude.”
