Thank you, American Heroes!

This holiday is occasion to remember and celebrate the all the courageous men and women who served and still serve this great nation. Veterans Day symbolizes the end of “the war to end all wars,” World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles was signed. Upon establishing Veterans Day, U.S. President Wilson declared:

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”
