Veteran’s Day: Addressing Depression and PTSD in Veterans
Most people know Veteran’s Day is a national holiday because banks and government offices are closed. But do you know how Veteran’s Day originated?
Originally Armistice Day, Veteran’s Day began on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of World War 1. In 1926, Congress passed a resolution for an annual observance. On November 11, 1938, it became a national holiday.
