Nov 11, 2014: We wish you a Happy Veterans Day :). It's a state and federal holiday across US. But those of us who are employees of corporate America need to go to work :(.
Veteran's day has an inspiring history. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words:
To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations …
We express heartfelt gratitude to all veterans who have served this great country with honor and pride. Here's a nice video titled "A Soldier's Prayer."
