Veterans Day is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world and falls on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

"LOVE"


"THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL MAID,


THE LOVE OF A STAUNCH, TRUE MAN,
THE LOVE OF A BABY,UNAFRAID,
HAVE EXISTED SINCE TIME BEGAN.


BUT THE GREATEST OF LOVES,
THE QUINTESSENCE OF LOVES,


EVEN GREATER THAN THAT OF A MOTHER,
IS THE TENDER, PASSIONATE, INFINITE LOVE,


OF ONE DRUNKEN MARINE FOR ANOTHER"

General Louis H. Wilson 26th Commandant USMC 1975-1979:beer:


"A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve –
is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to
"The United States of America ", for an amount of ”up to and including my life."
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."

The Eagle’s Watch
In a quite river valley,
Lies a green and peaceful place,
Were warriors come to rest,
Having honorably met their fates.

No more do they stand the watch
Their worthy service done,
They’ve passed their duties on
To other Fathers' sons.

Yet flying high above them,
On silent wings spread wide,
Soars freedom's embodiment
And a country's sign of pride.

The mighty Eagle watches o'er all
And guards their well-earned rests.
For he like they, knows the feel
Of Freedom in his chest.

And though he does his best to guard
The fallen warriors' sleep.
Still at times he grows so weary
And must rest his wings a-beat.

So slowly he glides his way
To where the fallen rest,
And there he bides his time a bit
Among the honored Vets.

And though he knows no words
Of the valiant warriors' speech,
Still they communicate
In a way that words can't reach.

Having communed with those who lie
Among the rows of stone,
The Eagle takes to flight again
And resumes his post alone.

In endless soaring circles,
He surely makes his rounds,
Guarding the fallen heroes
Who make this hollowed ground.
