I am a proud mother of a Marine, and until my daughter chose her journey to become a Marine, I had no idea how hard military life is for the person serving as well as their family. Thank you for all you sacrificed, missing multiple family life events while serving and constant unpredictability. True heroes!

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.
