Veteran's Day is observed on the 11th. Veterans Day gives honor and thanks to all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. History notable: Armistice between Germany and the Allied Nations came into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. President Wilson declared that the day should be "filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory". On November 11, 1919, Armistice Day was commemorated for the first time. A prideful thank you to all of our Veteran's!
