Thank You Veterans

by | Nov 11, 2018 | Jim's Take on the Market, Military

November 11, 1918 is generally considered the end of World War I.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day, of the 11th month, the battlefields of Europe fell silent after more than four years of fighting. In 1938, Congress declared Armistice Day a holiday, and, in 1954, the name changed to Veterans Day to honor the veterans.

Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military – in wartime or peacetime.

I heard of a 16-year old today who didn’t know about Pearl Harbor!

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 75 years ago was one of the most significant events in world history – it brought America into World War II. There were 2,403 American lives that were lost, and another 1,178 who were injured in the surprise air attack.

Here is a fantastic photo gallery:
