I am the son of WW2 survivors. If not for our brave service members, my parents may have perished in the Italy during the war. And if the war had ended differently they definitely would not have immigrated to the US where they met and began a 62 year love story. So I thank all veterans, retired and active duty, past and present, who represent...

What is the significance of Veterans Day?

Veterans Day, observed on November 11, is a U.S. holiday honoring all who served in the Armed Forces. Originally called Armistice Day, it marked the end of World War I in 1918 and was renamed in 1954 to recognize veterans from all wars. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors fallen soldiers, Veterans Day celebrates all veterans with parades, ceremonies, and expressions of gratitude nationwide.
