| "So many good things are happening here in America. But it only takes one horrible terrorism act to make that look completely different. Thank God for those who stand up, get counted, swear in and do the job that keeps us free." - Colonel Mike Snipes, US Army, Ret. |
The
Veterans Day Story... At the 11th hour, on the
11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of WWI fell silent and "Armistice
Day" was born. Eight years later a Presidential Proclamation invited
people to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies. With the passage
of time it was changed to "Veterans Day". The national focal
point for the official Veterans Day observance is at the Tomb of the Unknowns
where the Presidential wreath is placed. Click HERE
