Veterans Day
On November 11th, 1919 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Armistice Day. The day commemorated the cease fire that took hold on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 and ended World War 1. It evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954 to honor veterans of World War 1 and all subsequent conflicts. This is a special day to thank our U.S. military veterans, the men and women who have kept America safe, for all they have given to this country. They are people who offered some of their life’s most vital years in service to this land, many times sacrificing their own ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. Our brave veterans have given so much, some even at the cost of their lives, for our country and for freedom. Let us be thankful to God that such men and women came forward. May we be filled with pride in the heroism of those who have served our nation and be grateful for the victories and blessings bought with such heroism. The freedom to worship our God is one such blessing we enjoy. We honor, remember, and salute our nation’s heroes for the upcoming Veterans Day.
