Veterans Day has a rich tradition that goes all the way back to 1919. That is when former President Woodrow Wilson first spoke about Armistice Day — which celebrates the end of World War I — a holiday that would eventually become Veterans Day in 1954.

​

Veterans Day is a holiday first instituted on May 26, 1954, via a bill signed by former President Dwight Eisenhower. Congress later amended the bill, replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans,” and the holiday has been known as Veterans Day since.

A World War II veteran named Raymond Weeks first had the idea in 1945 to expand Armistice Day to include all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. He later received the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 from then-President Ronald Reagan.

Indeed, a day to remember the eleventh month of the eleventh day on the eleventh hour and the end of World War One in Armistice.

Do you remember getting your immunization shots?

They lined us up and shot us with airgun vaccines.

The Boy Scouts was tougher than Air Force boot camp.
But some people could not take it.

It ripped the skin on one guy.
They set him aside and used him as an example of why you should not flinch.

Back in the day.. I had a full bird Colonel pass out on me when I gave him his update shots. BTW it was before they began using the airgun.
We used to set up 100 pack uniits of hypodermic syringes.
