For the past 101 years, Americans have gathered on November 11th to honor our military veterans. Originally, this was a day of remembrance and honor for all those that fought and died in the quest for world peace during World War I. But this day of remembrance was expanded & renamed in 1954 to honor all U.S. military veterans.
While Memorial Day honors all those who paid the ultimate price and died in the service of their country, Veterans Day gives us all the opportunity to honor the veterans that are hard at work all around us. We owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who have served our country and we at FirstFleet would like to express our deepest thanks. Please join with us in thanking a veteran today.
