Before 1950, each branch of the military was celebrated on its own day. Now we celebrate the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Reserves on the third Saturday in May. Armed Forces Day is a great time to help veterans in your community and say thank you. Whether you shake a veteran's hand and thank them for their service or you donate to a veteran's organization today, there are many ways to show your support
VETERANS- DID YOU KNOW? Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11, the day that WWI hostilities formally ended.Veterans are people who served in the military (US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard) in times of war or peace. As of 2019, there were 12,987 living veterans who served all through World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. n 2017, there were about 1.9 million female veterans in the US. Veterans Day is spelled as it is for a very specific reason. The apostrophe plus S here, which would be the little curly mark between the “N” and the “S,” would denote possession. Veterans Day is not a day that belongs to Veterans or is owned by Veterans in any capacity. It is a day for everyone, regardless of if they’ve served or not, to reflect on the sacrifices of people who have served. The day may be dedicated to Veterans, but Veterans do not own it. We owe EVERYTHING to our Veterans. Please try and get involved with any Veteran group and show your respect.
