Today is Veteran’s Day and the ELI
Faculty and Staff would like to express our thanks and sincere appreciation to all
of our veterans, and their families, for
their sacrifices and service to our Country.
A few informational facts regarding Veteran's Day follow:
· Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on Nov.
11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I.
· In 1926, Congress passed a resolution for an annual
observance and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.
· 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. (For additional facts regarding Veteran's Day, please click here.)
