Even decades after serving, talking about it can still be emotional for vets.
CHICAGO -- On this Veteran's Day CBS 2 is paying tribute to some of the heroes living in the Chicago area.

The organization offers services including food pantries , peer counseling , employment and housing assistance to local veterans.
