I sincerely feel like we can NEVER say THANK YOU enough to our Veterans!!

   First a little Veterans Day History:

Difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day: Veterans Day is a federal holiday that is celebrated on Nov. 11 each year. It's often confused with Memorial Day, which is set aside to honor those who died serving their country. Veterans Day is for all those who have served in the armed forces.

Day change: Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October in 1971 but was changed back to its original Nov. 11 date in 1978. If the day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then it's observed on Monday or Friday, respectively.

How it's celebrated now: Veterans Day is now observed on Nov. 11, regardless of which day of the week on which day it falls. Federal and most state offices are closed on the day, as are most schools.

 

Evidently I enjoyed my "Hot For Teacher" status yesterday...lol... BUT seriously ..I have a friend preparing to deploy on a secret mission and I just honestly feel that we should be reminded every day of the men and women that give their all to serve so that we remain FREE!!!
