Veterans Day Quotes To Deepen Your Bond With Your Country

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors and recognizes military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The day is observed annually on November 11th and originally commemorates the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. The armistice took effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Veterans Day is a time to express gratitude and appreciation for the contributions and sacrifices of military veterans. It is a day to honor those who have served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Many communities hold parades, ceremonies, and other events to pay tribute to veterans, and schools often educate students about the significance of the day.

It’s important to note that Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day, which is observed in May and specifically honors those who died in military service. Veterans Day, on the other hand, acknowledges all military veterans, living or deceased, and is a time to thank them for their service.
