Tuesday marks the annual Veterans Day holiday, and Americans and allies across the globe have been commemorating U.S. servicemen and women in the lead-up to a day of celebration at home.

The day’s big ceremony will be the Concert for Valor on the National Mall in the nation’s capital, where as many as 800,000 are expected to pay tribute and listen to a stacked musical lineup that includes The Black Keys, Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, and other A-list artists. The concert will be televised on HBO at 7:00 ET.

Elsewhere, here are some images of individuals marking the day.
