A veteran is someone who has a lot of experience in a job, occupation, or field, but in the context of the U.S. Armed forces it has somewhat of a different meaning.

A veteran is a former member of the United States Armed Forces, which can range from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, to the Coast Guard. If you were brave enough to put your name on the line; you’re a veteran. Maybe you were volun-told or maybe you volunteered, either way, you’re a veteran.

The origin of Veterans Day is in the armistice agreement that finally brought World War I to an end. It was on the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 that the horrific war ended and that date was initially named Armistice Day to commemorate that fact.

On Veterans Day, we honor their service, dedication, and valor and are forever grateful for their sacrifice. We must continue to prepare and care for veterans and their families as a nation.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
- Ronald Reagan

Happy Veterans Day!!!
