Veterans Day is dedicated to all the men and women who have served in the United States military. From those who risked their lives at war, and those who remain stationed in the service at times at peace, in the sea, in the air, and at home. Many lost their lives on behalf of their country.
But how much do you know about the veterans?
The day dedicated to veterans goes back to November 11, 1919, as “Armistice Day” to celebrate the end of World War I, then known as The Great War or the war to end all wars. Veterans Day also coincides with Remembrance Day, which is celebrated by a Commonwealth of Nations to also commemorate the end of the first World War.
Everyone who worked in the U.S. armed services is considered a veteran.

Veteran Day Tribute To Colonel Jack Jacobs
As his men was hit with massive fire from the Vietcong, Colonel Jack Jacobs called for airstrikes on the enemy’s army, stopping their attack and causing heavy casualities. Jacobs was very injured and bleeding from the head, but he went back and forth across enemy lines multiple times to rescue wounded American warriors. He ran through heavy automatic weapon fire to evacuate his injured brothers-in-arms.
