Friday, November 11 we celebrate Veterans Day as a Federal Holiday. Veterans Day honors all American military personnel and veterans, both living and dead, in wartime or peacetime. It is is largely intended to thank living veterans for their service.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Memorial Day is celebrated the last Monday in May.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
