Happy Veterans Day!
This Veterans Day, the Haywood Chamber of Commerce joins our community in honoring the men and women who have served our nation.
The holiday dates to November 1918 during WWI. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, a temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany. Commemorated the following year as Armistice Day in many countries, November 11 became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938.
Remember Veterans Day pays tribute to all veterans living and deceased. It gives us a chance to say thank you to the Veterans who are our neighbors, business owners, employees, coaches, or that person sitting on the other end of the pew. Their sense of duty and service continues long after their time in uniform ends, and our community is stronger because of it.
To every veteran and military family in Haywood County: Thank you and we are grateful for your service and your sacrifice.
