Veteran Day: Quotes, Free Meals, Parade and many more

VETERAN DAY which is also known as Armistice Day is an effort of honoring the veterans of the war. The 1st world war ended after the German signed Armistice at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.
 
It is a legal and a federal holiday in USA. In 1938 it was declared as a National Holiday by the then American President. On this day the post offices, Drivers license stations, state government offices are closed. In Iowa most banks are closed. In Minneapolis Wells Fargo is closed whereas the US bank is open.
West Virginia represents the most veterans in the country having 202000 out of the total 24 million military veterans of USA. Veterans Administration said that there were 2.2 million living veterans of World War II and out of them around 900 are dying every day.

The only living legend of World War I is Frank Buckles aged 108. He had joined the army at a tender age of 16.
 
In World War 1, World War 2, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam War and Korean War around 621000 Americans have died.
 
Some of Veteran day quotes of war are:
 
 “We know more about war than we do about peace, more about killing than we know about living.”  Gen. Omar Bradley.
 
“The military doesn’t start wars.  Politicians start wars.” Gen. William Westmoreland.
 
 “What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purist joys and happiness God has granted us in this world.”  Gen. Robert E. Lee
 
Each and everything counts, so one should just take out some time and send Veterans Day thank you message to all the Veterans.
