On this Veterans Day, we celebrate those who’ve served our country with honor. A wonderful, unattributed quote about the day— “We don’t know them all but we owe them all.” One we do know, however, is Cristiano Castro Jr., a U.S. Army WWI veteran and descendant of the pioneering Mountain View family for which the city’s main downtown thoroughfare was named.
