Here's to all the brave men and women of our armed forces that have served, protected and preserved the freedom and rights that we have and enjoy in the beautiful USA!! Star

Let us also be thankful for all those at home and abroad bringing the fight to those who would choose to challenge our freedom and great way of life. Kick ass boys!! Angry

Let us bow our heads and remember and give thanks to all those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom. May they walk softly in the rolling green fields of heaven , lay their rifles down and hear the lord say "good job soldier, your job is done." Cry

And finally, to the families that sacrifice so much so that their family members can serve to protect us, we salute you! Clap

I just went to a funeral for a Marine killed in Iraq on 10/25/06. He was my daughter's best friend. It brought back a lot of bad memories of VietNam and lost friends. I'm proud to have known & served with them. God bless them all. Lets pray this all stops soon. And I want to thank each and everyone whose has served.

Veterans Day is the American name for the international day called Armistice Day. It falls on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. It is both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states. The same day is observed elsewhere as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. All major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. Armistice Day was first commemorated in the United States by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, and many states made it a legal holiday. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 inviting all Americans to observe the day and made it a legal holiday nationwide in 1938.
