November 12, 2021 Meeting Canceled
Due to Veteran's Day holiday, the Novemeber 12, 2021 USFC Council meeting will be canceled. Our next meeting will be December 3, 2021.
Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace. Whether or not you know someone who served in the military or you served yourself, Veterans Day is a holiday worth observing. Currently, there are around 18 million veterans living in the U.S.—here are some things to remember when honoring them on November 11.
Veterans Day and Memorial Day are NOT the same
Both holidays honor men and women who have served the country. Memorial Day recognizes those men and women who died while serving. Veterans Day is a time to recognize men and women who served our country, both the dead and the living.
The date has significance
Veterans Day falls on Nov 11 of each year. This is because it coincides with the anniversary of the end of WWI. Which happened, “on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.”
USFC Would like to thank all veterans for their services and we hope that everyone has a safe weekend! See you all on December 3, 2021.
