Veteran's Day originated as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919,
the first anniversary of World War I. In 1926 congress passed a
resolution for an annual observance to occur on November 11 and since
then, our country and many others around the world, have been
remembering our fallen soldiers and thanking all of those who have
served. Here at Juniper Village, Veterans from all branches of
service received recognition and thanks from their fellow residents,
Juniper Village employees, and staff members of both Promise Hospice
and VITAS Hospice. It was a poignant celebration, in which our Veterans
shared their stories and reflected on their sacrifices.
