About Veterans Day
Veterans Day holds great significance in the United States. It was originally known as Armistice Day, and it was established in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I. In 1954, the holiday was officially renamed Veterans Day to honor all military veterans who have selflessly served their country. This day provides an opportunity for us to express our gratitude and appreciation for their sacrifices. As we observe Veterans Day, let us remember and honor the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. Take a moment to reflect on their service and extend your heartfelt gratitude to the veterans in your life.
