History of Veterans Day
Veterans Day has its roots in the aftermath of World War I. Originally known as Armistice Day, it commemorated the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany on November 11, 1918, which ended the “war to end all wars.” In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all American veterans of all wars. This federal holiday serves as a tribute to military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces, recognizing their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
History of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving, a beloved American holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, has its roots in early colonial history. The tradition is often traced back to 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast. This event is now remembered as the “First Thanksgiving.” However, it wasn’t until 1863, during the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. The holiday has since evolved into a time for families and friends to gather, express gratitude, and enjoy a festive meal typically featuring roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. While the historical narrative has been subject to revision and critique in recent years, Thanksgiving remains a significant cultural event that reflects themes of gratitude, community, and shared heritage in American society.
