Happy Veterans Day



Our troops make incredible sacrifices every day.  They leave behind their pets, homes, family and friends to put their lives on the line to defend this great Nation.  Today and everyday the VonHolediggers honor you and thank you for all you do for the United States of America!

Also, we found on History.com this bit of fun trivia:

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

Happy Veterans Day!

President Vinnie & The VonHolediggers
