Holidays – Veteran’s Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 a temporary cessation of hostilities was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. The following year President Woodrow Wilson declared we’d recognize the day and those who served America “both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice…” May peace and justice prevail – everywhere and to ALL people.
Today, we salute all those who have served to make the rest of us free.
