Originally known as Armistice Day because it
commemorated the peaceful conclusion of “The Great War” (World War I) in 1919,
Veterans Day, as it is now known, is a time to remember those who serve and
have served in our armed services. To honor those who risked their lives
in the service of our nation, AdvanceUSA would like to share the following.
A recent
Wall Street Journal article urges Americans to show respect to our fallen
soldiers regardless of their views on particular wars. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has
posted numerous Veterans Day resources on its
website for citizens to know how and where to celebrate this important
holiday. Click

Take time
this weekend to thank the Lord for the men and women who selflessly served our
country and be sure to thank the veterans you know for their courage and
sacrifice. Their dedication preserved our freedom.
