Veterans Day

Lake Pointe Salutes Our Veterans!

Each year, on November 11, Americans come together to honor and remember the courage, sacrifice, and commitment of our nation’s veterans. From those who served in times of peace to those who faced the perils of battle, all veterans have answered the call to protect and preserve the freedoms we hold dear. Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the legacy of service that spans generations and to express our deepest gratitude for the men and women who have defended our country. Their bravery and dedication continue to inspire us, reminding us of the cost of freedom and the strength of our nation.

World War I, known then as “The Great War,” formally concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, in France. Yet the intense battles actually came to a halt seven months earlier, when a ceasefire between the Allied forces and Germany took effect at the symbolic moment of the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Thus, November 11, 1918, is widely recognized as marking the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Today, Veterans Day remains fixed on November 11, regardless of the day of the week, to honor the historical significance of this date. This steadfast observance allows us to focus on the true meaning of Veterans Day: a tribute to the courage, dedication, and selfless service of America’s veterans, who have shown unwavering patriotism and sacrificed for the greater good.
