A crowd gathered to honor veterans in Burlington Sunday.

They honored the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I as veterans, Sen. Bernie Sanders and state representatives spoke to the crowd. Topics ranged from thanking vets for their service and remembering to keep those who served on your mind all year long, not just on one day.

"Veterans Day reminds veterans that they are honored and they are appreciated and that their service does matter to our country," said VFW Commander and Veteran Michelle Caver.

"This state is a very patriotic state. This state has sent so many men and women from the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan to battle," said Sanders, I-Vermont.

The annual event held at Battery Park in Burlington is put on by the VFW.
