Happy Veterans Day to you all! Thank you, thank you to all who have served in keeping me free!! I do truly appreciate what you have given up for me. A little history for you. This day began as a holiday at the end of the Great War. A cease fire was called at 11 am on the 11the day of the 11th month of 1918. It was a great and sudden silence that was the end to four years of horrific fighting all over Europe.
In 1954 it was changed to Veterans Day so we could remember all who have served our country to keep it, and so many other countries of the world free.
Our family remembered this day, this year, by, writing letters to some of the veterans in our life and thanking them. A rousing time of singing and playing the trumpet, recorder, piano and harmonica to a whole host of songs that remind us of different wars and other patriotic tunes. We may think of more to do this afternoon, we shall see.
