Veteran's Day

Happy Veteran's Day! This day is set aside to honor our veteran's of world war, and rightly so. Formerly known as Armistice Day, which was started in 1919 to honor the veteran's of the "great war", World War I. Over the years, it changed to include veteran's of all world wars, and in 1954, President Eisenhower changed the name of the holiday, officially, to Veteran's Day. While many people honor those currently serving in any branch of the armed forces, the holiday is traditionally set aside to honor those veteran's who served in any past world war. Thank you to all veteran's who served and put your life on the line for my freedom and the freedom of all Americans!
