At the Flaming fountain war memorial in Pierre, South Dakota. A commemoration to veterans that have fought for all of us. Life-size statues reflecting all branches of military service are represented just a few steps from the SD capitol building. Thank you to all for your service. On Veteran’s Day we salute you.
“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…”
– President Woodrow Wilson, in November of 1919 – the first Armistice/Veteran’s Day.
