In recognition of Veterans Day 2011, children from across the country creatively expressed their appreciation for America’s veterans by entering Paralyzed Veterans of America’s eighth annual National Veterans Day Poster and Essay Contest.
 
This year’s contest theme was "America’s Veterans: Our Heroes of the Past, Present, and Future". Using their own words, images and creativity, contest participants shared their understanding and appreciation of the many contributions veterans have made to our country in the past, in the present, and considered what their contribution would be in the future.

The poster contest was open to students in grades 1–4, and the essay contest was open to students in grades 5–8.
