Veterans Day - 2018
By Chief of Department Jason Nickson
November 11, 2018
On this Veterans Day, please take the time to thank a Veteran for their service to our Country. Without the sacrifices of these men and women and their families, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms that we have today.
Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day and marked the end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. Therefore, the day is always recognized on November 11th, regardless of the day of the week the 11th falls on.
"Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be."
