Events and ceremonies will be held across New Jersey to celebrate Veterans Day Saturday, and one veteran places special emphasis on honoring soldiers who never made it home.

Lewis Watkins, a Vietnam veteran, feels Veterans Day is a time to say thanks to the men and women who lost their lives serving their country. Many other people, like Watkins, show up at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Holmdel to honor fallen soldiers.

There are ceremonies planned at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial Saturday starting at 11 a.m.
