Forever Grateful!

The year was 1918. On the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, a formal agreement was signed in Compiegne, France, ending the War. Armistice Day was proclaimed, a day to honor and give thanks to the Veterans of World War I. However, in 1954, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed new legislation proclaiming Veterans Day in honor of veterans of all wars. And still today, on the 11th day of the 11th month, Veterans Day continues to be observed. Judd Gregg, former Governor of New Hampshire, spoke these heartfelt words, “The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.”

The PebbleCreek Republican Club (PCRC) will be honoring veterans at their 12th Annual Veterans Event and Dinner on Thursday, Nov. 3. The guest speaker for the evening will be Major General Michael “Mick” McGuire, retired U.S. Air Force and former Adjutant General of the Arizona National Guard.
