100 Veterans Day Quotes, Wishes, Greetings, And Messages to Say ‘Thank You’ to our veterans

Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11, and it honors the more than 25 million living veterans who have served in the United States military after coming home to this great country alive since WWII. The day gives the testimony of their sacrifices and loyalty towards safeguarding independence and values for our country.

In 2024, the federal holiday will fall on Saturday, Nov. Most government offices, including the USPS and banking institutions will be closed as well. Veterans Day started in 1919 when President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11th “Armistice Day” to honor the end of WWI on that date — at the eleventh hour, during the final moments of peace negotiations for both sides.

President Wilson proclaimed, with “solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in her service and… gratitude for their Victory.” Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. But, it was not until 1954 that the day became officially known as “Veterans Day.” Veterans of World War II and the Korean War pushed for this change.

The idea was to broaden the holiday beyond just those who fought in World War I, thereby highlighting all veterans. Ever since then, Veterans Day has become a day of honor to all who have served in peace time or wartime. Throughout the US, people celebrate with parades, ceremonies and other gatherings to give thanks and remember those that have fallen.

This is a time to marry us honor those who have been so brave and many of them paid dearly. Veterans Day is a time that it doesn’t take long to show just how thankful we are for them, all with three words: —Thank You Soldier—. A small thanking act thereof for their service to the state.
