On Veterans Day, we recognize those who have served our country, standing up for freedom and the values we cherish. Their courage has shaped our history and protected the rights we hold dear. Today, let’s honor their service by reflecting on their sacrifices and finding ways to show our gratitude.
 

Veterans Day Through the Years

• Veterans Day originated in 1919 as Armistice Day to mark the end of World War I.

• After World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor veterans from all American wars.

• Today, Veterans Day is observed nationwide to celebrate and thank those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Ways to Show Appreciation

• Support veteran-owned businesses in your community.

• Spread awareness about Veterans Day by sharing this message or the stories of veterans you know.

Watch Our Video Tribute

We’ve put together a tribute video to honor veterans across the nation. Watching and sharing this video is one small way we can all say “thank you” to those who’ve served. Take a moment today to watch—it’s a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made on our behalf.

 

Thank You, Veterans   President John F. Kennedy once said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” Today, we thank veterans with our words, our actions, and our respect.
