Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and
Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and
Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday:
Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.
To those who served and continue to serve, a humble thank you.

Hooooah, thank you Jeff for your support.
May God bless those who serve, and have served, to preserve our freedom
You’re welcome!
(At least the spitting and flipping the bird to service members stopped long ago)
Although I never served, I would like to specifically thank my son Andrew for his service in the Security Forces of the Air Force from 2000-2004.
And also a big thank you to all who have served.
I want to honor a hero of mine, the recipient of a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts. This man has served his country his entire life.
Senator John Kerry, thank you sir.
Yep no one had to twist his arm and force/draft him to serve his country….
