Thank You, Veterans!

Thank You Veterans

Porch Swing Tip of the Week: Thank You, Veterans!

The eleventh hour. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines the eleventh hour as “the latest possible time before it is too late.” If you paid better attention in American History class than I did, you might remember that the armistice that ended “the war to end all wars” went into effect at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. Each November 11th we recognize the valor and sacrifice of our country’s service members – and you probably knew that too.

But did you realize this year’s Veteran’s Day commemoration is focused on the centennial celebration of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National cemetery? At 11 a.m. that day, in the customarily solemn ceremony, a wreath will be laid at this memorial, to be followed by speeches and recognition of various veterans’ organizations.

From the Porch Swing family, thank you Veterans, for your service in the United States Armed Forces!
