Honoring Our Veterans 2022
Veterans Day occurs on November 11 in the United States. It originated as Armistice Day but President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name in 1954. In 1968 the celebration was moved to the fourth Monday in October but in 1975 President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11 because of the historical significance of the date: World War I ended on November 11, 1918.
Each year the Veterans Day National Committee publishes a commemorative Veterans Day poster. The Committee selects a poster from artwork submitted by artists nationwide and distributes the winning design to VA facilities, military installations around the world, and across cities and towns in our nation. The poster serves as the cover of the official program for the Veterans Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery. Click here for more information about the Veterans Day National Committee.
Here’s a fun grammar fact: no apostrophe is needed when typing or writing Veterans Day. You can find out more about the history of Veterans Day here: https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/veterans-day-facts
The men and women who have served and protected the U.S. come from every walk of life – they are parents, children, grandparents, friends, neighbors and Burris Logistics Team Members. Below is a list of the Veterans I have collected from our locations – Thank one (or more) of these heroes today!
I MEAN NO DISRESPECT IF I HAVE MISSED A VETERAN ON THIS RECOGNITION LIST. If you are a Veteran or know a Veteran who is not included in this list, please fill out this form, send me an email, or a text. I’ll added immediately: [email protected] or (302)604-3859.
