On Sunday, November 11th, communities across America will celebrate and honor U.S. military veterans for their patriotism, love of county, and willingness to serve during war and peace time.

In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice ending World War began. It is the origin of Veterans Day, a U.S. holiday often confused with Memorial Day.

Memorial Day honors America’s war dead, while Veterans Day honors all American veterans, living and dead, and has a special emphasis on thanking living veterans for their service to our country. 

Here in Gallatin County, many of our schools are honoring and recognizing local veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces. 

These men and women who served our country in a military uniform come from all walks of life; they are parents, children, grandparents, friends, and neighbors and are an important part of our community.

Many of these same veterans continue serving our country as teachers, firefighters, police officers, members of community and faith-based organizations, and veteran service organizations like the American Legion, Elks National Veterans Service Commission,  Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Vietnam Veterans of America. 

Our veteran service organizations are committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
