The US Flag flies proudly as we celebrate our United States veterans!

Veterans Day is Sunday, November 11, 2007

Veterans Day is fast approaching, so I wanted to make you aware of some special happenings on Oahu in celebration of this treasured national holiday. According to Wiki, "Veterans Day is an American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is celebrated on the same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)"
