Veterans Day, also called Armistice Day in the United States, is a national holiday that honors military service members and their families. It was created to allow Americans to remember those who have served or continue to serve in war without being reminded of the devastating effects of that service.
Since World War II, when the United States was at its peak as a world power, it has had an annual veterans’ day celebration. In recent years, the day has been celebrated on November 10th instead of October 7th due to the date being linked to Columbus’s arrival in 1492.
Previously, October 7th was honored as Veterans Day in America, making it two months apart in celebration. This is why some communities choose not to recognize Veterans Day on that date because it is too long of a break for them to manage.

History of Veterans Day
Today is a special day. It is the third week of the year, and because of this, it is history’s arrival date for Veterans Day.
It was first observed in 1918, and has been celebrated ever since. In that year, it was called Memorial Day, as it honored soldiers who died in the war.
Later on, in 1918 and 1919, it was renamed Armed Forces Day to include civilians who serve alongside military personnel. In 1919, it was renamed Veterans Day to include both military and nonmilitary individuals.
Today, there are three weeks that Veterans Day falls on.

During Veterans Day, we pay tribute to our military leaders by wearing military-like clothes and decorations. It is very important to keep your decorations and clothing clean to remain true to your original unit.
I have a special place in my closet that is filled with all of my military-themed clothing. I have been wearing this stuff for years, and it has not gone in a charity or auction because I wear it. It is part of me staying connected to my unit and continuing the legacy of war heroes.
I know these men and women who serve and protect us are watching over us every day with our government, making sure we are doing our job. They continue to inspire me every time I look at these pictures or videos of them in action.
Share patriotic photos on social media
Veterans Day is an opportunity to think about our military veterans, their service to us, and to show support for them. While it is typically a weekend event, you can still be a part of the community by sharing photos of yourself wearing or carrying military gear or by posting a Veterans Day message on social media.
I have found that many of my friends who are not veterans find this day very meaningful. It reminds them of their own service to country and what they have done to help others since then. Many share pictures of themselves in uniform with friends and family members.
This day is also used as a chance to remember those still fighting for our country. Since many places observe this day the same, there are usually largeVeteran protests on Veteran’s Day.

Almost every country in the world has a day to remember those who have served in the military. It is called National Veterans Day and it is given each year on November 10.
Historically, veterans were required to live on low-income households or ones with limited resources. This was due to the fact that they were usually exposed to difficult jobs and life conditions that others did not enjoy.

But what happens once they come back from war? Where do they go?
Many veterans return to a job that was once confidential, thanks to their military experience. Others find gainful employment at non-traditional places like community colleges or nursing homes, where they can contribute to the community.
At Samford University, we recognize that returning veterans have a unique need for leadership skills and an opportunity to make a positive impact on society. That is why we offer the Samford Veterans Leadership Program (SVL).
The program is designed for returning veterans with no other leadership experience who want to contribute to society and advance their careers. In return for this risk, they receive training in leadership skills and an opportunity to make a difference.
