What is Veterans Day?
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Many people equate Veterans Day to a day off of work, a day at the beach, an opportunity to throw a party…..everything that Veterans Day DOESN’T represent!
Wikipedia defines Veterans Day as, “an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world and falls on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)”
While Veterans Day honors those that have served us, to me it is a reminder of all soldiers that have fought and continue to fight for our freedom. Thank a soldier today for what they do to keep us safe and free.
