Veteran's Day - November 11th

Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on Nov. 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect.


I Thank God for our Veteran's - both those who have served and those serving now. As we set aside today to honor them let's remember to say a prayer for each one.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has a lot of info on Veteran's Day on their website. It is where I copied the above picture from. It is interesting reading and a good reminder of our country's history. Here is the link to the website.
