Sign up by November 8, 2024 A Few Veterans Day Facts • Hostilities in World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice, or peace agreement, with Germany went into effect. Armistice Day, began as a celebration recognizing the victory of the allied forces of WWI. It was renamed Veterans Day by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954 and is now dedicated to veterans of all wars. • It is a day for honoring all veterans, so no apostrophe is used. • Veterans Day hasn’t always been celebrated on Nov. 11. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Holiday Bill, which ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Co- lumbus Day. This bill assigned the fourth Monday of October as Veterans Day, but many states disapproved of this decision. In 1975, President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to Nov. 11, anchoring it to this historically significance day. • Millions of Americans have served. According to the Census Bureau, in 2021 there were 16.5 million veterans living in the United States, about 6.4 percent of the adult population. 16 million Americans served in WWII. In 2022, just over 167,000 of them were alive. 1.8 million served in the Korean War. 2.7 million served in the Vietnam War. 650,000 served in the Gulf War. This year on Veterans Day be sure to thank a veteran for their service and — even better — strike up a conversation about what they did when they were in uniform. Without them, our country would not be what it is today. In Honor of Veterans Day BSC Member, Connie Sims will find the Draft Cards of your ancestors again this year! She will be here every Tuesday through November right after lunch. Come prepared with the names and general location of the men in your family and she will do the rest! ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- “What if today, we were grateful for everything?” Charlie Brown Looking Ahead Christmas is almost upon us and we have so much to do to get ready!
