Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. veterans. Whether happy, content, complacent, sad, disheartened, or depressed, Veterans are recognized, remembered, and rewarded for their service. Whatever the feelings or emotions, there is hope and healing for all Veterans.
Isaiah 40:29-31
“He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint,”
Today’s and future events remind veterans that they are not alone and that their service, whether for a day, month, year, or more, is appreciated.
Celebrations varied from city to city and state to state. According to Google, the following three events occurred on the East Coast today.
