A Veteran's Day Hodge-podge

 

A Map of the Presidio Army Base

Veteran's Day is this Monday.  Veteran's Day in the United States honors all people who have served this country. Veteran's Day is observed on November 11th as that day in 1918 was the "cessation of hostilities", between the Allied Nations and Germany during "The War to End All Wars". 

In 1919, President Wilson declared November 11, "Armistice Day." In 1938, Armistice Day became a legal holiday in the United States to honor the Veterans of World War I.  In 1954, Congress made November 11th, a day to honor American Veterans of all wars.

Memorial Day and Veterans Day are different as Memorial Day is day to remember those who have died in battle and Veterans Day is day to honor all Veterans.

Anyway, here are some posters I saw from World War II:

And some other things (Yes, I know this mainly Navy, but that is the branch I served in):

The book they give people in boot camp

I know a lot of people are looking forward to the three-day weekend, but sometime during your weekend please say a prayer to all the servicemen and servicewomen who have served this nation.
