Let’s hear it; give a big heartfelt HURRAH for all U.S. veterans!
Unlike other holidays that may fall on different days of a specified month, Veterans Day is always on November 11, regardless of the day it falls on.
On November 11, 2026, we will celebrate and honor the six branches of the United States Armed Forces: Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, Army, Coast Guard, and Space Force.
The U.S. Army, the oldest and largest branch, was established in 1775 and includes special units such as Rangers and Night Stalkers.
Space Force, the newest branch, was created in 2019. The name sounds rather Star-Trekkish, but their mission is real. Space Force secures and maintains the country’s satellites and other military space equipment. Their motto is Semper Supra, Latin for “Always Above.”
How can we say THANK YOU to these courageous and worthy veterans?
Just tell them!
You selflessly defend our freedom, values, and country. You willingly put your life on the line for me, my family, and countless others. You are the best of us, the G.O.A.T.s of protecting our country.
You are our heroes.
You are the real Superman and Black Panther. You and veterans who have passed on have protected us by land, sea, and air.
Thank you, veterans. We owe you a debt of gratitude.
Mark 10:43 (NIV) says, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
Veterans are proven servants of the people and the nation. And they have a servant spirit. It is an honorable thing to risk limb and life for a comrade and country.
Should Veterans Day be a day of celebration or reflection? Or is it a day to commemorate the brave?
Veterans Day is all of the above.
Most of us know someone who is serving or has served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Like other national holidays, Veterans Day is about love, liberty, and sacrifice; we celebrate and honor the service of all the men and women.
November 11 is the annual federal holiday designated Veterans Day.
We salute all veterans!
How can we honor our veterans on November 11, 2026?
You can support veteran organizations through giving.
Drop off or send care packages to veteran organizations.
Call veterans you know to express your gratitude.
We don’t know you all, but we owe each of you a debt of gratitude.
May God continue to bless all veterans, and may this nation be a great model for other countries.
I salute my veteran family and friends.
Freedom and sovereignty are our watchwords.
Here is a poem I hope you will enjoy.
Take A Moment To Thank A Veteran
When you see someone in a uniform,
Someone who serves us all,
Doing military duty,
Answering their country’s call,
Take a moment to thank them
For protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them;
Make it very clear.
Just tap them on the shoulder,
Give a smile, and say,
“Thanks for what you’re doing
To keep us safe in the USA!”

Happy Veterans Day 2026!
I hope that you are happy and well.
