Wednesday, November 11, 2015 marks the 96th observance of Veterans Day. President Woodrow Wilson declared the day a federal holiday in 1919. Originally known as Armistice Day, the name was changed to Veterans Day in 1954. The date was chosen in reference to the ending of World War I: Germany signed an armistice with the Allies at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918. Today, Veterans Day is dedicated to honoring all who have served our country. It is an important reminder of the sacrifices all of our military men and women have made on our behalf and an opportunity to acknowledge and thank them for their service and contributions. As we mark the day, all of us at the Credit Union want to say, "Thank you vets!"
