As we approach Veterans Day, it's an important time to pause and honor the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. This day is more than just a holiday—it’s a moment to reflect on the resilience, dedication, and courage of our veterans.

In a touching piece on the Texas Veterans Blog, Chairwoman Jasmine Crockett shares the history and significance of Veterans Day. She reminds us of the deep respect and gratitude we owe to those who have fought for the freedoms we often take for granted. From its origins as Armistice Day in 1919, commemorating the end of World War I, to its evolution into Veterans Day in 1954, this occasion serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices that span generations.

The letter dives into the purpose behind Veterans Day, offering insights into how we can honor veterans not just on this day but every day. For a heartfelt read on this important subject, check out her blog post here: A Letter from the Chairwoman: The Story of Veterans Day.
