11-11-11 : Veterans Day

From  Wikipedia   ( Yes, I know it isn’t the best source of true info, but it works sometimes. )

Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said, "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."

Today is no different. We still celebrate Veterans Day with pride in the heroism of those who have fought throughout the years of our country’s existence.
Thank a Vet today for the service and sacrifice they have given for your freedom!!
