It's Veterans Day, and all across Michigan, small ceremonies are taking place honoring the nation's military veterans.
A light rain fell in Flint as a small ceremony was held at 11 a.m.
Veterans Day has it's roots in the Armistice that ended World War I. Under the terms of the armistice, that war ended at "The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month."
Vietnam era veteran Raul Garcia told the small group assembled in front of Flint city hall of his pride of being part of a military family.
"To me, it's just a great pride to wear this uniform knowing that we are the greatest nation around," Garcia said.
There are more than 650,000 military veterans in Michigan.
