Veterans Day History

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors those who have served in the U.S. military. It is observed annually on November 11 and was originally called Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, which occurred on November 11, 1918.

The day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 by an act of Congress after it was discovered that there were no longer any veterans alive from World War I who could be honored with an observance at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C. Since then, Veterans Day has become a time for Americans to pay homage not only to their own personal veterans but also those who died in service or are still living today as well as those who are still fighting on the front lines. The day is also a chance for Americans to honor those who have served in the U.S. armed forces since its founding in 1775, and it is a time when many people visit cemeteries where their loved ones are buried or attend ceremonies at military bases around the country. It is not just about the veterans.

If you choose this type of plant for your loved one, make sure that you have all the supplies needed before giving it as a gift so that he or she can start enjoying it right away!

If you are not sure what kind of plant to get, there are many online resources that can help.

Honor Veterans Day with caring and fresh flowers and floral products from Huisman Flowers

Huisman Flowers

November 11th is Veterans Day . The history behind this particular date is that in 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, all major hostilities of World War I were formally ended. The day was originally termed Armistice Day and was created to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans. To honor a Veteran on this special day, shop with Huisman Flowers for fresh, caring and patriotic flower arrangements and floral products.

President Woodrow Wilson gave a memorable speech in 1919 during which he commended the men and women of the United States military. “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 nations”.

Armistice Day and Remembrance Day are celebrated in other countries as a remembrance to the end of World War I. However in 1954, Veterans Day became the official name for our United States day to honor our military men and women. Veterans Day differs from Memorial Day. While both days honor our military, Memorial Day is designated to honor those who died while fighting for our country. Veterans Day is designated to honor all of the military folks who have served our country.

In addition to a caring floral product from Huisman Flowers, below is a short list of ideas for other kind acts to honor a Veteran.

Donate Money – There are several organizations that support veterans and they can always use private donations.
Donate frequent-flyer miles – For any of us that travel a lot for work or pleasure, perhaps you have accumulated some extra travel miles that you may not use. One organization that would love the free flyer miles is the Fisher House Foundation Hero Miles Program. They are dedicated to assisting family members with travel expenses so that they can be close to their loved one who may be ill or injured.
Volunteer your skills – If you have knowledge of a trade or financial planning etc., veterans can benefit from your volunteer teaching.
Veteran Speaker – Many veterans have wonderful and inspirational stories of over coming adversity and never giving up. Find one that enjoys speaking to other veterans.
Hire a veteran – If you own a small business or are in a hiring position at a company, perhaps hire a veteran who is anxious to get out into the working world.
Hire a veteran’s caregiver – Offering support to veteran’s families is so valuable. Plus many of these folks are incredible employees.
Do business with a veteran-owned company – Astonishingly there are an estimated 27 million veteran owned small businesses in the U.S. These companies are run by the fine men and women that defended our country. You will find some of the most trustworthy services and quality products.

Classic Dozen White Roses – For classic romance, a dozen roses is always the perfect choice. One dozen long-stemmed roses in an elegant glass container with premium foliage accents.

Lakeshore Lavender – This gorgeous fresh flower bouquet features beautiful purple roses, lavender alstroemeria, full bloom hydrangea and floral accents.

Due to various seasonal and regional conditions, and the variety of unplanned issues courtesy of COVID 19 and Mother Nature, availability of some flowers may be very limited in certain areas. Also, specific flower varieties or colors may not be available for delivery on a specified day. Therefore, it is possible that the exact bouquet pictured or requested may not be available for delivery. Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the country. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays.
