Honoring Our Heroes on Veterans Day

Every year on November 11th, the United States commemorates Veterans Day, a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who have served in the nation’s Armed Forces. Originally established as Armistice Day to mark the end of World War I, the holiday was later renamed to honor veterans from all wars. On this day, communities across the country join together to express gratitude, hold ceremonies, and participate in parades. It’s a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our military personnel, both past and present, and to extend our deepest appreciation for their dedication to protecting our freedoms. Join us in thanking and honoring our heroes this Veterans Day.
