Veterans Day is a day meant to remember and honor those who served.

Myra Boyd is an Army veteran who lives everyday honoring and helping those who served. She's the Commander of the Jackson County Chapter of Disabled American Veterans and one of the main ways she serves is by helping vets get to their doctors' appointments.

I found out she does much more - living by her motto, leave no one behind.
