Your Neighbors Thank Their Veterans On Patch
Readers call out those special veterans in their lives as we reflect on the holiday.
As we all spend the waning hours of daylight enjoying the day off, or passing by the closed banks and libraries, we are reminded at every turn that today is Veterans Day. Officially declared a national holiday in 1954, it has its roots in Armistice day, when hostilities ceased, ending World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, 1919. The day is intended to honor and thank veterans in all branches of the military for their involvement in all of America’s military conflicts.
In honor of Veterans Day we asked you and your neighbors to call out those special veterans they’d like to personally thank by sharing their names on our Facebook pages across the area. Here’s what you contributed:
