Veterans
Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal
holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November
11, 1918.
.
Veterans Day is a
special time of year for many Americans who, in some way, have formed a
connection with a veteran or who are veterans themselves. It is a day that
brings about a great sense of pride in our country, a day when we are
especially thankful for the service and sacrifice of those who chose, and those
who continue to choose, to wear the cloth of the nation.
My father-in-law served in Germany and my Uncle Robert lost his life in World War II.
Breathing in Grace,
I had no idea it was Veteran's Day. US holidays seem to slip by without us even noticing. Praise the Lord for those who gave all.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences about Uncle Robert...---Thank you for such a lovely post, Deb. Blessings to you sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for all who have served, some giving the ultimate sacrifice like your Uncle Robert.
ReplyDeleteMe too: thankful for all who have served for our freedom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to those who have served and those who continue to serve in our Armed Forces, Deb. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteA lovely tribute for your loved ones. It's nice to have a special day of remembrance, but those who serve deserve our respect every day (and I know they do!).
ReplyDeleteMy heart is so full of gratitude for those who have served our country! Of course, I am biased because my grandfather, father and husband have all proudly worn a naval uniform. 💙💙
