Veterans Day officially dates back to 1919 and was formerly known as Armistice Day to mark the end of World War One. There are currently 16.1 million veterans still living who served in at least one war and another 5.2 million who served during times of peace (History.com).

Please join us in thanking these men and women for their sacrifice and selfless duty to our nation. Happy Veterans Day!
