Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those
who served in all American wars. The day honors military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
America is the Land of the Free, because of the brave. Veteran’s Day celebrates and acknowledges the service of all United States Military Veterans. Today we honor the brave men and women who have served in the American Military. With great respect, and a heart full of pride, we say a great big THANK YOU to those who have served. Please hop with us as we pay homage to the people who help keep America the Land of the Free.

I am very proud to say that I have had family members to serve in the Military. My father was in the Army, brother - Marines, Uncle Ronnie - Navy,Uncle Willie, and my grandfather was in the Navy also. I am very proud of all of them and thank them and others for their service to our country. I am working on a scrapbook for my dad of his military service. I thought that I would share a tag that I made for his album.
Now please hop on to the very talented Marji Franklin!!

This is a great tag! I've always been intimidated when I think of making tags, This is awesome
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this tag! It is so perfect for it's purpose. I love the vintage black and 'white' theme. It takes me right back to the black and white war movies I used to watch with my dad. Good inspiration. I am a new follower!
