For many, Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that veterans have made. As the nation's veterans grow older and their numbers dwindle, it is important to remember their service and the sacrifices they have made,” said George W. Bush in his 2008 Veterans Day Proclamation. The day is also a time to give thanks for the freedoms that we enjoy as a country. "On Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served our country in uniform," said President Donald Trump in his 2018 Veterans Day Proclamation. "We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice, and we pledge to always care for our veterans and their families."
