Veterans Day Message from Quarter Millennial:
We want to express our love and gratitude for our veterans and all they do for this country. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed and we are eternally grateful for each one of you. Veterans Day is a U.S. legal holiday dedicated to American veterans, and Veterans Day 2024 will occur on Monday, November 11.
In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I, then known as “the Great War.”
Commemorated in many countries as Armistice Day the following year, November 11th became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, marking the official end of World War I. Nonetheless, the armistice date of November 11, 1918, remained in the public imagination as the date that marked the end of the conflict.
There is an old saying, "All gave some and some gave all" On Veterans Day we celebrate everyone who has ever served and protected this great nation and on Memorial Day we celebrate those who paid the ultimate price in service to our country and keeping us free.
