Veterans Day

Thank you to all that have served or continue to serve!
Originally called Armistice Day, the first anniversary to the end of WWI, which ended 11-11-1918. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who serve the USA—living or dead—and give thanks to veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
It is marked by parades and church services and in many places the American Flag is hung at half mast.
A period of silence lasting two minutes may be held at 11:00 am.  
 
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11th, no matter what day of the week it falls on.
World War I armistice was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
June 1, 1954, the commemoration changed the word “armistice” to “veterans” so the day would honor American veterans of all wars.
The Uniform Holiday Bill in 1968 was to ensure that a few federal holidays — Veterans Day included — would be celebrated on a Monday.
 
It is appropriate to Thank veterans of all branches for their sacrifice, bravery, and the example set for us all. In short, thank you for your service! To all those who have served, and those who continue to serve… Happy Veterans Day is a very acceptable salutation!

Life Ring

Action By the Water - BE SAFE
Life Ring for an Emergency
Installed on the Walnut Grove Public Dock

          

While traveling abroad, Jim saw this Life Ring on every dock.  He snapped a photo and found out the company is USA based.  It was ordered, then Mark and Jim installed it on 3/26/2024.  The 24" Life Ring and 100' Rope provides equipment to use in case of an emergency.  It is located in the cabinet designed to protect the Life Ring from extreme weather and offer a good visual location on the dock.   Remember, if you need help, call 911.
