Each year on November 11, the United States observes the federal holiday known as Veterans Day. Different from Memorial Day which honors members of the military who lost their life while serving the country, Veterans Day honors all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Many other countries around the world celebrate the end of World War I on November 11 with holidays known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day.

Social Media Description
In addition to the family losing a wonderful father and grandfather (and father-in-law), just last month the United States lost a man who served on active duty in the Air Force for four years followed by another 20+ years of reserve duty. So very nice to see current members of the military honor him with a gun salute, playing Taps and presenting the flag that was draped over his casket to his wife of over 65 years.
At its best, travel should challenge our preconceptions and most cherished views, cause us to rethink our assumptions, shake us a bit, make us broader minded and more understanding. - Arthur Frommer
