Benjamin Faust - Veterans Day... by marlboromaam

Benjamin Faust - Veterans Day...

First of all - this is NOT my photo. It was taken by Benjamin Faust and is a free download for use on unsplash.com... I don't think I could take anything as poignant as what it illustrates.

Second and from military.com, I want to quote... "Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including  Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954."

As the daughter of a late veteran who served in the USAF for nearly 30 years, I salute all the veterans - all over the world. May God bless and keep them safe.
Beautiful image. God bless all our service men and women. Fav'd.
