Veterans Day Freebies, Discounts and Ramblings

Happy Veterans Day! Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, officially started on Nov 11, 1918 as a U.S. legal holiday to honer the end of World War I. Later in 1954 the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the Act of 1 938, renaming the day "Verterans Day" to honor American veterans of all wars. Take a moment today to say thanks to our military heros!
