On November 11th of every year, citizens acknowledge the sacrifices that
the members of our military forces have given. Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on Nov. 11, 1919, the first
anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in
1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday
beginning in 1938. Currently, there are more than 24 million living veterans! We appreciate those men
and women of the five military branches; Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force
and Coast Guard. Happy Veteran's Day to all of our veterans and
soldiers still serving our country. We appreciate and honor you!
