Veterans Day was first celebrated at
the end of World War I as Armistice Day. Armistice Day was set aside to
honor and remember the brave men and women
who died during the “war to end all wars.” Unfortunately, WWI
did not end war. We can only pray that someday, war will end. We celebrate
Veterans Day on November 11th.

The Gettysburg Address
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal." Abraham Lincoln spoke these immortal words
on November 19, 1863 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Lincoln had gone to
Gettysburg to dedicate a cemetery to all those who had died in the battle
there. His
speech
became the most famous in American history. Learn more about the speech

The fourth Thursday of each November we celebrate Thanksgiving.
We look back nearly 300 years ago when a small group of "Pilgrims" came
to the New World to begin a new life. May this day be a true day of thanks
for
everyone, in which we give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Happy
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving will be celebrated on November 26th this year. Learn
more below.
