Veterans Day β A Brief History πΊπΈ
Veterans Day is celebrated every year on November 11th to honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Originally known as Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, marked the end of fighting in World War I. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all American veterans who served in times of war and peace.
Today, Veterans Day is a time to show gratitude, respect, and appreciation to those who have sacrificed their time, courage, and dedication to protect our freedom and defend our country.
To all who have served and continue to serve, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
πΊπΈ Happy Veterans Day! πΊπΈ
We honor you today and every day.
