With Eternal Gratitude on Veterans Day
Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 11:00 AM Veterans Day is the day that all Americans to honor our veterans, but for those veterans reading this we want you, too, to know that we truly appreciate your service and sacrifice and admire your courage every day of the year.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice ( temporary cessation of hostilities), was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.
On this Veterans Day, we want to share this outstanding video featuring clips from inspiring speeches from FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan, as well as several iconic war photos.
Today especially, would be a perfect time to make a donation to Wounded Warrioror Project or Fischer House
