As the story goes, Colonel John A. Logan was in combat during the Civil War when he issued order number 11, which called for honoring fallen servicemen in the various states and asked people to bring flowers to their graves wherever they were found.
Thank you for your service, Veterans Tribute
Veterans Day is one of the most special celebrations in the United States. Every November 11, those people who are still alive and who gave their service in the various wars in the world where the US Army was present are honored. It is a different celebration of Memorial Day, which occurs on the last Monday in May and remembers those who sadly died in combat for the defense of their country.
