Happy Veterans Day

*Happy Veterans Day*


The 11th Month on the 11th Day is the day we Honor our Military Veterans. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed this day an Armistice Day back in 1919. Seven years later on June 4, 1926 the United States Congress passes a concurrent resolution asking that President Calvin Coolidge to make another proclamation to observe November 11th with appropriate ceremonies. An act was approved on May 13, 1938 that made the 11th day of the 11th month of every year a legal holiday! June 1, 1954 congress amended this act replacing Armistice with Veterans and it has been known as veterans day ever since!
I would like to Thank All the Men & Women for fighting for our Country! My prayers go out to all those who have lost loved ones in the fight....
