This past weekend our Nation celebrated Veterans Day, a day to recognize and thank those who selflessly serve in the face of danger to protect our Nation and our way of life. Throughout history, beginning with the Revolutionary War, our veterans have earned and protected the freedom which we often take for granted. Originally established as Armistice Day in 1919, November 11 was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 in order to include the many Americans who honorably served during World War II and in Korea. Today, we continue that tradition and honor the dedication, the service, and the sacrifices that our veterans made in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and, more recently, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and Coast Guard will continue this legacy of service to protect our country, and they deserve our utmost respect. God bless our veterans, and thank you for your service. ____________________
