Veterans Day traces its origin to the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” in 1918 — a moment that marked the end of World War I, originally commemorated as Armistice Day. Today, we fly the flag as a symbol of respect or all those who have served our nation. #veteransday #protectandserve #veterans #army #navy #marinecorps #airforce #military #honoringheroes #supportourtroops | Alachua County Sheriff

We celebrate Veterans Day on November 11, because on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent on the battlefields. In 1918, this marked the end of the 'war to end all wars'. Other countries have Remembrance Day to remember the end of WW1. This is what it sounded like when the guns went silent. #army #navy #airforce #marines #vetradiosyndicate #remembrance #restinpeace #valor #WW1 #NATO #europe #BelleauWoods #queen #king | Vet Radio Syndicate
