Happy Thanksgiving!

Before we judge, I prefer to think of the Spirit of Thanksgiving and that is Pilgrims were thankful for the harvest with the help of neighboring Indians. To show their appreciation they all came together to celebrate their fortune. It is this comradery that I choose to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a moment in time I wish to emulate daily. What do you think?

With that in mind let us celebrate this moment in time for what it is, a time to be thankful. Thankful for the friends we have. Thankful for the food we eat. And most importantly thankful for the grace we receive.

From your friends at GreensKeeper.org, Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Veterans Day

Saluting Veterans Everywhere

From the History.com Website:

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, 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.

Some facts about Veterans Day and Why we celebrate it

  • Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States in honor of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, known as Armistice Day.
  • In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
  • In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress, which moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. The law went into effect in 1971, but in 1975 President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date.
  • Veterans Day commemorates veterans of all wars.
  • Great Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World War I and World War II on or near November 11th: Canada has Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November).
  • In Europe, Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.
  • Every Veterans Day and Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery holds an annual memorial service. The cemetery is home to the graves of over 400,000 people, most of whom served in the military.

So with these things in mind won’t you celebrate Veterans Day with us? Happy Veterans Day from your friends at GreensKeeper.org.
