Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day here in the United States. What we know as Veterans Day traces its lineage to 1918, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on November 11, 1918 to end World War I (I found this info on the VA's website). As I was tracing my family Heritage, I noticed many family members that served in the military than I even knew about. In concluding this short blog, I remember all the troops out there defending our country today, and just wanted to wish them a Happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your dedication to our Country.
