HSoC Weekly Update

“Contentment is the equilibrium between the enjoyment of life now and the anticipation of what is to come.”

— Priscilla Shirer

Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect for you, our veterans.

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all veterans in all wars.

Veterans at Alternative Learning:

Dr. Al Benskin USMC(R) United States Marine Corps Retired

Ms. Jacquey Taylor - USA (United States Army)
