Cosby calls on crowd to remember veterans [photos]

Comedian Bill Cosby urged hundreds in attendance at a Veterans Day ceremony in Philadelphia to “call out the name of someone who left their life for us” and remember those who died for their country.

Cosby told the crowd during a 20-minute address in front of the All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors that “we don’t forget about ours.”

Officials say the monument along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway was originally placed in a less prominent location in the city’s sprawling Fairmount Park before it was moved to its current spot 20 years ago.

Cosby told those in attendance to take care of the monument and visit it often.
