Veterans' Day, holiday formerly observed in the United States as Armistice Day in commemoration of the signing of the Armistice ending World War I. Nov. 11 officially became Veterans' Day on May 24, 1954, by act of Congress. The day is set aside in honor of all those who have fought in defense of the United States.

I'd be EXTREMELY proud if this email reached as many as possible.
We can be very  proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.
