Happy Veteran's Day!
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11.
It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect).
The United States also originally observed Armistice Day; it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.
God Bless America and God Bless all the Veterans.

Great tribute to all those brave souls who have fought for our freedom.
Thank you for stopping by, Janet. It has literally been a nightmare since the I was forced to transfer my page due to spammers. I still have moments when I want to throw in the blogging towel, but I press through encouraged by blogging friends like you.
Your blog design looks lovely.
I know you've been busy moving your parents, but do stay in touch. Hope you had a fun Halloween. Can't believe October is gone.

Stopping by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.
Hope your parents are settled in now, and you have been able to rest a little.
Can't wait to see your Christmas pretties.
Blessings to you all.
