We remember..


U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'


I Thank ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHOM PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY.
*who make the freedom I have, possible.
* who give up things for my safety.
* who pay the ultimate price for our great country.
* who ask for nothing in return except world peace.
I will never be able to give enough Thanks to our soldiers and what they do!

They are always in our prayers.
