Veterans Day


This should've been posted at 11:00--sorry.

Also called Remembrance Day or Armistice Day around the world, November 11 commemorates the armistice that ended World War I in 1919. The day was originally set aside to honor those who served in World War I, but in the United States in 1954, the name of the day was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, and its scope was broadened to recognize all those who have served in the U.S. military. This would probably be a good opportunity to pay attention to the veterans who comprise one in four of our nation's homeless. Support the troops? Sure. But support the vets, too!
