Many people will be enjoying a three-day weekend due to many government offices and other businesses closing on Monday, November 11th. We hope everyone who gets to enjoy the extra time off has fun and is safe, or just gets some much needed pre-holiday R&R. However, it is important that we take the time to remember why this upcoming Monday is a celebrated holiday, Veterans Day.
Veterans Day is a holiday which serves to honor all people who have served in armed service. The reason for Veterans Day being celebrated on November 11th is to mark the anniversary of the end of World War I, major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed the observance of November 11th as a holiday in 1919.
So no matter what you’re doing over the weekend, we encourage you to show your support for our troops anyway you can, even with a simple “Thank You” to the veterans in your life. Without their selfless, brave, and hard-working efforts we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the country we know and love today.
On behalf of everyone at
BW James LLP we would like to say Thank You to all of our veterans, we greatly appreciate all that you have done for us and it is because of you we are able to walk the streets as free men and women. Thank you.
