The eleventh day of November is a special day. In 1919, the day became known in the U.S. as Armistice Day. It was meant to recognize those who served in World War I, during which an armistice to end fighting went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. Today in the United States, the day is called Veterans Day. In some parts of the world, it is called Remembrance Day. It is a day to honor all of those who have served in the military.
The day draws the Nation's attention to the sacrifices made by its war heroes. A day where we can express our collective pride and thanks to the armed forces.
For me personally, I am so appreciative for the selfless acts of valor, bravery, dedication, commitment and ultimate sacrifice of those who have protected and served our great country. Let us give thanks to those past and present.
Happy Veterans Days!
