Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day” on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.
"When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen."
"Out of every 100 men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they will make the battle. Ah, but the one is a warrior and he will bring the others back."
