Twitter brings people together for grieving, popular culture discussions, and to celebrate holidays. On Monday, November 11 the nation celebrated Veteran's Day, the holiday honoring the U.S. armed forces. It originated to commemorate the fallen heroes of World War 1, which ended unofficially with a cease fire on November 11, 1918. But it has since become a day where people recognize and thank all of our former, fallen, and current soldiers. Twitter was full of celebrities sounding off about the holiday. Below are the top ten celebrity tweets from Veteran's Day 2013.
