Today is a day to remember and honor those who have given their lives to serve our country, our proud US military veterans. This federal holiday is celebrated on the 11th amongst other holidays around the world like Armistice Day & Remembrance Day, which mark the anniversary of the singing of the Armistice that put an end to World War I.
BUT the reason this Veterans Day 11.11.11 is so symbolic is because "the major hostilities of WWI were formally ended at the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when the Germans singed the Armistice".
Be happy and grateful today that we are blessed to have an amazingly strong military that allows us to live our lives in peace and harmony.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you VETERANS.
