Veterans Day
is the day we set aside to honor the men and
women who have defended our country, our way
of life, and our freedom.
It is the day
that allows us to thank our veterans for
their patriotism and their willingness to
serve our Nation.
It is the day
of the year that a grateful nation shows its
gratitude to its bravest and finest
citizens.
The origins of
this day are both historic and symbolic.
It began at the
11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month,
that is, 11/11/11 of 1918, when the Allied
Powers signed a cease-fire agreement with the
Central Powers, thus bringing to an end the
bloody international nightmare known as World
War I, the "Great War" as it was called.
The next year, the
United States set aside November 11th
as Armistice Day to remember the sacrifices that
men and women made during World War I.
In 1954, Congress
made November 11 a day to honor veterans of all
wars, and, therefore, changed the name of the
day to "Veterans Day."

It is the
Soldier,
not the reporter who has
given us freedom of press
It is the Soldier,
not the poet who has given
us freedom of speech
It is the Soldier,
not the campus organizer who
gives us freedom to
demonstrate
It is the Soldier
who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
(and) whose coffin is draped
by the flag,
and who (allows the
protester to burn the flag.)
AND who inspires us to Honor
the flag

November 11
is Veterans' Day
for 11/11/09
On Veterans Day, the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) rolled out the first phase of a large-scale
Web renovation to better serve America’s Veterans. This first and
most visible step of the renovation consists of changing the Web
site’s look, making it easier for Veterans and their families to
navigate and to find the information they are looking for.
To view the new version of the Web site, visit
