Thank You Veterans

November 11, 2015

Thank You for Your Service and Sacrifice!

The ObesityHelp community offers heartfelt gratitude to all the men and women who have served our country in every branch of the military.

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.” – Abraham Lincoln

A look back in History...

November 11, 1918, was the day fighting ceased during World War I. President Wilson, initially deemed November 11th Armistice Day, and it became an official holiday in 1938 to honor World War I veterans. It was later extended to include veterans of World War II, and Congress eventually changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 1954.
