November 11 marks a day
of remembrance and
celebration to our veterans
who have bravely served
our country and defended
our liberties. Veterans Day was initially established to honor those who
gave their lives in World War I. However, in 1954, President Eisenhower
signed a bill to include the honorable men and women who served in both
World War II and the Korean War. Please join us in a respectful
remembrance to those who have served our country in the past and give
thanks for those who serve today.
