Happy Veterans Day!

Brian Wood has had the tradition of sharing some thoughts each year at a Veterans breakfast we put on for our local veterans. This year, Brian chose to share some fun facts about Veterans Day.

Here were the facts:

1. Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day.
It marked the end of World War I — the armistice went into effect on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918.

2. It’s Veterans Day, not Veteran’s Day.
There’s no apostrophe — it’s a day for honoring all veterans, not a day that belongs to them.

3. It’s different from Memorial Day.
Memorial Day honors those who died in service. Veterans Day celebrates all who have served, living and deceased.

4. There are about 16.2 million living veterans in the United States.
They represent every branch and every generation since World War II.

5. The oldest living U.S. veteran (as of 2025) is over 110 years old!
That’s some serious dedication — and probably a lot of push-ups.

6. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been continuously guarded since 1937.
That’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through rain, snow, and even hurricanes.

7. About 10% of U.S. veterans are women — and that number is growing each year.

8. The poppy flower became a symbol of remembrance after World War I.
It comes from the famous poem “In Flanders Fields.”

9. There’s no “day off” for some veterans on Veterans Day — many of them keep serving their communities as teachers, firefighters, police officers, and volunteers.

10. One of the most common ways people celebrate Veterans Day?
By simply saying, “Thank you for your service.” And it never gets old.

So today we say, Thank you!—to ALL those who have served our country through military service. We owe it to you to live lives of humility, gratitude, and responsibility.
