Honoring All Veterans on this Special Veteran’s Day
Posted By Irene C. Olszewski, Esq. on November 11, 2011
Veteran’s Day is perhaps one of the most significant of all federal holidays. It is a day to honor and remember the men and women who have fought (and who continue to fight) for the freedoms we, as Americans, hold so dear. It is the selfless sacrifices of these brave men and women that have allowed us to live in a country that offers choices, opportunities and democracy.
For those wondering about the origin of Veteran’s Day (originally called Armistice Day), it marks the official ending of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, Germany signed the armistice agreement. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11th a national holiday in 1919.
On this Veteran’s Day, I salute each and every one of you for your service to this great nation. Thank you for your service.
I’m proud to be an American.
