November 11th Is Veterans Day – Plan Your Promotions
Veterans Day celebrates the service of all living U.S. military veterans. It makes a great occasion for businesses to show their commitment and honor to the veterans during their brand promotions. This special occasion is marked by parades and church services and in many places the American flag is hung at half mast.
History of Veterans Day
On November 11th 1918, an Armistice was signed between the allies and Germany that marked the end of hostility of WWI. But soon peace gave way to turmoil during WWII, after which, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a day to honor every Veteran of war. It is a day to show the utmost respect towards those who served our country, who sacrificed for our freedom and to educate the youth on the importance of this holiday.
