What is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day and “Decoration Day”, serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships and sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
This day commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany on November 11, 1917. It serves as a moment to express gratitude, reflect on the contributions of veterans, and raise awareness about the challenges they encounter.
A simple “thank you” can go a long way in making veterans feel appreciated for their service. With this in mind, the White House Communications Agency Amateur Radio Club, all of whom are active duty and veterans, is holding this Amateur Radio Special Event to say “Thank You and Welcome Home”.
Thank you for making a QSO with us and helping to make this day memorable.
