[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Veterans Day is a well-known American holiday that honors all of those who have served our country in war or peace \u2014 not only those who are living, but also those who have died \u2014 although it\u2019s largely intended to thank living veterans for their sacrifices. While this year may look a little different than previous years, there are still ways we can honor our veterans and celebrate this holiday the right way! But first, let\u2019s not forget the reason why we celebrate Veterans Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Veterans Day<\/b><\/h2>\n

Veterans Day<\/span><\/a> was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I. World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. The fighting ended about seven months before that when the Allies and Germany put into effect an armistice on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

November 11, 1918 was largely considered the end of \u201cthe war to end all wars\u201d and dubbed Armistice Day. Congress officially recognized this day as the end of the war, and in 1938, it became an official holiday, primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I. Then World War II and the Korean War happened, and on June 1, 1954, at the urging of veterans service organizations, Congress amended the commemoration yet again by changing the word \u201carmistice\u201d to \u201cveterans\u201d so the day would honor American veterans of all wars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veterans Day offers a great opportunity to teach civilians about the sacrifice service members and their families make year-round. Each Veterans Day, thousands of locations celebrate our nation\u2019s current and former service members with special ceremonies, parades, and events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, attending these events, and throughout this holiday season, can lead to ignoring\u00a0 healthy habits. In order to win the battle of the bulge, we have to apply the strategies that work and not get caught up in the moment with our impulses. If by chance we fall off plan, it is critical to recognize this reality and apply the tools that have worked for us previously. This way, the tragedy is the opportunity to regroup and learn; if help is needed, ask for it. We are here for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
