Yesterday we celebrated Veterans Day here in the USA. It is an honor to salute the Military Veterans who served with valor. Both my father, and my father in-law are Veterans. My father served in the Air Force, and my wife's father served in the Navy. God bless the many Veterans, we are forever grateful for your service. ~ paradise-found@paradise-found

Veterans Day

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is an official United States public holiday observed annually on November 11, honoring military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of 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, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
