A Tribute to Our Nation’s Heroes: U.S. Veterans
Added by USGIF Category: Daily Intelligence Brief, General
Today is Veteran’s Day, which is a celebration first commemorating the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when an armistice brought an end to World War I. In 1954, Congress mandated the holiday honor all veterans. Veteran’s Day, a federal holiday, celebrates the service members who survived their experiences in war. For the second year in a row on this blog, the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), on behalf of its members, staff, and board of directors, would like to pay tribute to all those who have served their Nation, in peace and in war.
