In honor of Veterans Day we will do the following workout to honor all of our veterans in each of our countries armed branches. Before we do we think it’s important for you to understand the origin of Veterans Day. WWI know as the “Great War” ended in June of 1919 with the signing of the treaty of Versailles, however the fighting actually ended on November 11th, 1918 when a armistice was signed by all forces to end all hostilities at the 11th hour. At the time it was
November 11 was first know only as Armistice Day, but WWI brought about WWII and soon after we found ourselves involved in the conflict in Korea. Because of these events the Congress struck out the word Armistice and replaced it with the word Veterans in 1954 and later that year it was signed into law by President Eisenhower and became a national holiday to honor all veterans of the past and also those currently serving our country. Veterans Day is always observed on November 11 regardless of the day of the week.
