VETERANS DAY 2021

 

On the 11^th hour of the 11^th day on the 11^th month in 1918 an armistice between Germany and the Allied nations during the Great War known as World War I was established. This day was known as Armistice Day. This day has transformed to an official holiday to honor all members of the United States Armed forces now called Veterans Day.  Today I would like to honor my living relatives and ancestors on my genealogy trees who were in the armed forces. My research has not allowed me to identify all the veterans past or present. I have included veterans from all the trees I have researched which includes extended families. I will continue to search. They however are not forgotten.  Grateful for their service. God bless them all. Let’s support our living veterans. Thank you for family  who provided pictures.
