Exhibitors Service Network would like to say thank you to all of our veterans for your service to our country. The sacrifices made by veterans and their willingness to fight in defense of our nation merit our deep respect and praise.
The writer Michel de Montaigne once said, “Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.”
On November 11th, we honor our heroes, remember their achievements, their courage and their dedication, and say thank you for their sacrifices. Thank you for answering the call to duty. You have made our armed forces the most respected in the world.
Since the first shots at Lexington and Concord were fired and our Revolutionary War began, American men and women have been answering the nation’s call to duty.
Millions of Americans have fought and died on battlefields here and abroad to defend our freedoms and way of life. Today our troops continue to make the ultimate sacrifices, and even as we lose troops, more Americans step forward to say, I’m ready to serve. They follow in the footsteps of generations of fine Americans.
Veteran’s day, originally called Armistice Day, was originally designated as a day to celebrate the end of World War I. The first World War ended November 11, 1918 and the legislation that created Veteran’s Day was, and I quote, “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day.”
As time went on and we engaged in further conflicts during World War II and Korea, veterans’ groups lobbied for a change. Rather than honoring the armistice and only those who served in World War I, the holiday would now honor all veterans from every war and conflict the United States had encountered. We’ve honored our troops and their service and sacrifice ever since.
We have awarded medals to many Soldiers, added their names to monuments and named buildings for them, to honor them for their bravery. But nothing can ever replace the hole left behind by a fallen service member, and no number of medals and ribbons can comfort the ones left behind.
On Veteran’s Day, people throughout the country will gather together to remember, to honor, and to pay gratitude to those who have served our country. Our thank you is just one small spark in the flame of pride that burns across the nation today and every day. It’s not a lot, but it is one small way we can honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom.
God bless you and your families, God bless our troops and God bless America.
