Veteran's Day  Nov 11, 2024  Thank a Veteran for Their Service

Veteran's Day  Nov 11, 2024  Thank a Veteran for Their Service

 

Today, in the United States, is Veteran’s Day. It’s a day to remember all Veteran’s that have served their country in a time of war. Originally it was known as Armistice Day, which was the day the articles ending World War I were signed, at the 11th hour of the 11 Day of the 11 month.

On June 1, 1954, Congress changed the day and replaced Armistice with Veteran's Day in order to include the veteran's from WW11 and the Korean conflict.

 

As today is a federal holiday, all government offices will be closed, as will be all schools.  Many restaurants will offer special meals for Veterans with proof of service.  

If you should pass a person today and recognize them as having served, thank them for their service.

This year especially a veteran should be appreciated for allowing us to continue to enjoy the freedoms we have as it is such a rare commodity in today's world. Even though the draft is still an officially recognized entity for bringing youths over the age of 18 into service, it is not enforced, and all current military personnel are volunteers.

Nina Hollander, Broker   I can remember back to the late 80's and hearing of friends from High school that never came back alive from Viet Nam

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 all war is terrible, but what happened in Viet Nam was tragic... maybe because we didn't totally understand why were losing all those lives. To this day, my favorite memorial in DC is the Viet Nam War Memorial and I can't go there and look at it without crying each time.

Good morning Ed,

I like your Veterans Day message and agree  "This year especially a veteran should be appreciated for allowing us to continue to enjoy the freedoms we have as it is such a rare commodity in today's world."

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   I fear that as politicians are put into responsible seats and they have had no military service their loyalties will not be there.

Good morning Ed. As I take my normal romp through the Rain this morning I am getting more excited about Veteran's Day and thanking those that served. So many of my fellow Rainers are on the same page. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin   Today is special for me as it was the birthday of my uncle that was a supporter of mine when I needed it. Born on Nov 11, 1918, as they were signing the armistice in Europe.

I remember as a child seeing the Marines come and deliver a bike to a kid in my neighborhood. I thought...how lucky that child was to get a bike for free. I was too young to know it was because his dad had been killed in Viet Nam. I will never forget the 13 lost in Afghanistan (needlessly).

John Juarez   Veterans should be recognized for the respect they have for their country and the bravery to wear the uniform. Not all have that commitment.

Ed the message I want to share this Veteran's Day is that even though today is designated as a national day to honor our Veterans, they deserve to be honored everyday for their service, and the freedom we enjoy because of them.
