So, today being the 11th of November, it is a special day. Around the world Armistice Day is celebrated, marking the end of the first world war. The hostilities were ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Being that it ended one the bloodiest conflicts in human history, it is a very important to remember. However, in 1954 in America, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to honor all those who served in the United States Armed Forces.
To any veteran who should read this post, God bless you and thank you. You were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice so that people like me can live our lives under the flag of this great nation, that which you swore to protect. It is on days like this that veterans and active serving members of the armed forces are thanked for their service extensively, but to me, because they are constantly protecting our country, or had for the duration of their service, every day should be Veterans Day. Again, thank you so much for your service.
Thanks for reading,
Augie
