Fill Norristown Patch with Veterans Day 2014 Tributes
Tuesday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. Leave a tribute to a veteran in the comments section, or upload a photo there.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as Armistice Day with the following:
“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”
This year, on the 95th anniversary of what is now commemorated as Veterans Day, we open the comments for tributes to veterans in the Norristown area and around the country. Leave a comment and upload a photo.
