Celebrate Native American Heritage Month
October 30, 2020
Hello, friends! This month I am not only looking forward to Thanksgiving, but I’m also excited about celebrating Veterans Day.
Veterans Day is a national holiday celebrated on November 11 that honors all living people who have served or are currently serving in the military. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day which honored the day World War I ended, November 11, 1918. In 1954, Congress changed the holiday to Veterans Day to honor all men and women who served in the U.S. military. Across the country, Veterans Day is celebrated with parades, speeches, and ceremonies.
Many people write letters or send care packages to service members
abroad to thank them for their service on Veterans Day. If you would like to write a service member, you can send your letter to Support Our Troops, 13791 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa, FL 33613. For letter guidelines, visit supportourtroops.org/cards-letters.
