On Veterans Day, people across Oklahoma are honoring those who died for our country. Many people turned out for the 101st Veterans Day Parade in Tulsa despite the near-record cold temperatures.

The Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater is decorated with 7,000 flags outside Edmond Low Library. Each flag includes a dog tag and the name of a fallen service member.

Northeastern State University in Tahlequah is set to unveil a Veterans Memorial statue at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11. In Tulsa, the Humane Society is waiving adoption fees for cats and dogs for those with a veterans I.D.
