Addrin Adams, 7, brother of slain Army Spc. Jeffrey Paul Shaffer who was killed in Iraq, wipes a tear from the eye of his mother, Melissa Adams, during a Fallen Soldiers Memorial at the American Legion Post 121 in Waco, Texas, Nov. 11. President Bush attended the event.
Veterans Day is an American holiday honoring our military veterans. It is so very sad that not all veterans return home to their loved ones. Although too many service men and women may never witness this day as veterans, they are honored just the same. The sacrifices that families make in service to their country is immense, and this photograph of a child wiping a tear from his mother's eye while attending the Fallen Soldiers Memorial at the American Legion Post 121 in Waco, Texas, is a poignant testament to that.

images from around the world in this week's Pictures of the Week gallery.
