Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G-6’s Post

On Veterans Day we thank those in uniform serving today and those who have served in the past for their sacrifice. There are more than 16 million veterans in the United States, which is over 6% of the total civilian population age 18 and over. An unknown author said, “We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.” Until 1954, Veterans Day was known as “Armistice Day,” celebrating the armistice agreement that ended WWI on November 11, 1918. In 1954, President Eisenhower had the name changed to Veterans Day. In his 2023 Veterans Day Proclamation, President Biden wrote, “This Veterans Day, we honor the generations of women and men who have served and sacrificed — not for a person, a place, or a President — but for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States of America…Our veterans and their families give so much to our Nation, and we owe them a debt we can never fully repay… “This Veterans Day, may we honor the incredible faith that our veterans hold, not just in our country but in all of us. They are the solid-steel backbone of our Nation, and we must endeavor to continue being worthy of their sacrifices by working toward a more perfect Union and protecting the freedoms that they have fought to defend…I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor, courage, and sacrifice of these patriots through appropriate ceremonies and private prayers and by observing two minutes of silence for our Nation’s veterans.” Full Presidential Veterans Day Proclamation: https://lnkd.in/dH_GDCEC. #USArmySignalCorps #Signalcorps #USARMY @US_CYBERCOM @ARCYBER @armyfutures @Signal_School @US_CYBERCOM #VeteransDay
