Veterans Day, November 11
Why our logo is wearing the stars and stripes
Today we say thank you to everyone who has served in the United States Armed Forces.
Today the mark takes on the colors of the flag, with a line of thanks under the wordmark. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the end of fighting in World War I at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. In 1954 it was renamed to honor American veterans of all wars.
Behind many veterans are the people who care for them: spouses, parents, adult children and friends. If that is you, thank you too. The VA Caregiver Support Line, 1-855-260-3274, offers information and support for caregivers of Veterans.
If you or a Veteran you love is in crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is there around the clock, confidentially. Dial 988 and press 1, or text 838255.
The history here comes from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the crisis and caregiver numbers from the Veterans Crisis Line and VA Caregiver Support. Our thanks to every veteran, and to the families who serve alongside them.
November is also Family Caregivers Month. Thank you to everyone who gives care.
November is also Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Our thoughts are with every family living with memory loss.
November is also Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection can change everything: talk to your primary care provider about screening.
