Veterans Day

President D. Eisenhower
Proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day
Did you know that most Americans confuse Veterans day with
Memorial Day?
Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the
bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most
Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day.
Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their
country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle.
Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the
day is set aside to thank and honor living Veterans who served
honorably in the military-in wartime or peacetime.
~~~
November 11Th is the day we as citizens will observe this
powerful day.
Please take the time and reflect on this National holiday.
In Canada, this is their remembrance day so they will be observing
this with us.
May you have a wonderful and personal day remembering all
that we have.
