What is Veterans Day? - Remember Our Veterans Today!
Veterans Day is always celebrated on November 11th.
The holiday began in 1919, and was originally called Armistice Day. In 1954, Armistice Day (created to recognize WWI soldiers) was changed to Veterans Day, to honor soldiers who have served in every conflict throughout our history.
On Veterans Day we recognize those who served: both living, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, unlike Memorial Day when we recognize only those we lost in serving their country.
Take a moment today to thank a veteran - you probably won't have to look far to find one who served the United States of America in:
- World War II
- Korea
- Vietnam
- Desert Storm
- Iraq
Or in the peacetime that is upheld by our men and women in uniform. Thank the men and women that serve in the:
- United States Army
- United States Navy
- United States Air Force
- United States Marines
- United States Coast Guard
- United States National Guard
These men and women leave their families to protect our freedom and work to provide freedom to others on a daily basis.
THANK YOU!
