On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

In the United States, an official wreath-laying ceremony is held each Veterans Day at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, while parades and other celebrations are held in states around the country. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day–a common misunderstanding, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American servicemembers who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans–living or dead–but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

The Salvation Army Tucson Amphi Corps Found Here

The Salvation Army Tucson Amphi Corps helps my local community more than anything or anyone. They give selflessly, asking nothing in return. They give food, guidance, bible classes, after school programs, activities, help, and education without asking for a single thing back. They truly care and that almost seems like a lost practice in the world today. The Lieutenants Jeff and Katie Breazeale are truly doing God's work in our humble little town. I have never felt more welcome at a church, closer to Jesus Christ, or more loved than at my local church/ corps. I wish everyone would feel the joy He has put in my heart, using this Corps as its vessel. Thank you for giving me the love, help, and family I have always needed. The Salvation Army truly Does The Most Good! God does bless you guys.
