Our country’s debt to the men and women who have served and risked their lives to defend our freedom shouldn’t be limited to a single day. And it isn’t. But setting aside one day each year to honor our vets is a good tradition. Veterans Day began as “Armistice Day” on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1926 Congress passed a resolution to make it an annual observance, and it became a national holiday beginning in 1938. So we proudly stand with all Americans, and fellow vets, on this Veterans Day to reflect, recognize, and express our gratitude for their sacrifice. To all those who’ve served, and are serving — a heartfelt, “Thank you!”
