Veterans Day: A time for appreciation We all recognize the solemn moment of "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month." We bow our heads in recognition of the end of World Wars I and II. Most of all, on Veterans Day, we remember and honor the veterans of all American wars and conflicts. We show our gratitude in many ways. Some of us will attend parades, ceremonies or prayer services. Others will take time to remember family members and friends who served in past and present conflicts. Many of us will just say, "Thank you for your service." You won't have a hard time finding a veteran. According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 18 million living veterans in the United States as of 2025. This represents about 6 percent of the adult population. Veterans themselves usually take a joyful view of the event. They may gather to celebrate with their buddies, sometimes having a party with fellow unit members who have come from some distance away for the gathering. It's a popular time for reunions. Veterans Day celebrations at the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and the American Legion clubs include music, dancing, dining and more, often arranged by the women's auxiliaries. The revelry, however, comes to an abrupt silence for a few moments in recognition of "The 11th Hour." This story was posted on 2025-11-11 11:46:43
