AP story details :
President Barack Obama is taking part in Veterans Day observances in Washington and San Diego before heading to Hawaii for an Asia-Pacific summit.
The president is hosting a veterans breakfast Friday at the White House, then laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns before speaking at a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Soon after, Obama flies to California to take part in the first-ever Carrier Classic, basketball game between Michigan State and No. 1 North Carolina aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
The Veterans Day observances come a day after the Senate approved Obama's call for a tax credit for those who hire jobless veterans. In a written statement, he said the vote is a fitting way to help honor those who've served their country.
