MY FAVORITE VETERAN!!!
We just wanted to say Thank you to All our Veterans!
Did you know that it originally began as Armistice Day?
Did you know that President Woodrow Wilson is responsible for your special day??
And did you also know that the holiday is often celebrated by eating ravioli!?? (this is my kinda day!) This is because President Wilson invited 2,000 troops to the White House for dinner since he thought they'd be hankerin' for a home cooked meal! They were served......you guessed it....Ravioli!
The day is observed through local ceremonies, parades, and the closing of most schools, federal offices and post offices. (Bills can be delivered another day! But, fear not--your local pharmacist is on duty to take care of you!!)
We do appreciate all that you do. Your service to our country deserves more than just a day!
