SUMMARY:Gold Star Mothers/Family Day
DESCRIPTION:Gold Star Mothers/Family Day is observed on the last Sunday in September. This day honors and recognizes the families of U.S. military members who have died while serving their country. The term “Gold Star” comes from the tradition of displaying a service flag with a blue star for each immediate family member serving in the military\, and a gold star if that family member died in service. Gold Star Family Day is an opportunity to show support and gratitude for the families of fallen service members\, and to recognize the sacrifices that they have made. It is also a reminder to the broader community of the ongoing impact of military service on families\, and the importance of supporting them during and after their loved one’s service.

SUMMARY:VFW Birthday
DESCRIPTION:The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is a U.S.-based organization founded on September 29\, 1899\, by veterans of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection. It has grown to become the nation’s largest group of combat veterans. The VFW’s mission is to “honor the dead by helping the living” through promoting patriotism\, providing assistance to veterans and their families\, and engaging in community service. The organization offers military assistance programs\, youth scholarships\, and educational initiatives. An interesting fact is that the VFW played a significant role in establishing the GI Bill\, which has helped millions of veterans pursue education and home ownership. To be eligible for VFW membership\, an individual must be a U.S. citizen who has served honorably in the U.S. armed forces in a foreign war\, insurrection\, or expedition\, recognized by the issuance of a U.S. military campaign medal.

SUMMARY:National Day of the Deployed
DESCRIPTION:The National Day of the Deployed is observed on October 26 to honor and show appreciation for the service and sacrifices of deployed military personnel. The day’s observance works to raise awareness of the important role that deployed service members play in defending the country and protecting America’s interests abroad\, as well as the sacrifices they and their families make. Deployments can be difficult and challenging\, and service members often face prolonged periods of separation from their loved ones\, exposure to danger and harsh conditions\, and other hardships. The significance of the National Day of the Deployed lies in its recognition of the sacrifices and contributions of deployed service members\, as well as the need to provide them with support and resources to help them fulfill their mission and return safely to their families. The day is marked by various activities and events that aim to honor and support deployed service members and their families\, provide education and resources for them\, and promote advocacy on their behalf. It is an opportunity to show gratitude and support for the essential work that deployed service members do\, and to advocate for policies and initiatives that support their well-being and the well-being of their families.

SUMMARY:Veterans Day
DESCRIPTION:Veterans Day is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11 each year. Its primary purpose is to honor and express gratitude to all American veterans who have served in the U.S. military\, both in wartime and peacetime. The day has its origins in the aftermath of World War I\, when it was called Armistice Day to commemorate the end of the war on November 11\, 1918. In 1954\, the holiday was officially renamed Veterans Day to recognize the service of all veterans. Traditionally\, parades\, ceremonies\, and other tributes are held to honor the bravery\, sacrifice\, and patriotism of those who have served their country. Veterans Day has significant cultural and historical significance in the U.S.\, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the military and the importance of recognizing their service and contributions to the nation. \nNOTE: Veterans Day is different than Memorial Day. Memorial Day is meant for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in the service of their country\, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of a wound sustained in battle. Veterans Day is intended to thank all those who have honorably served in the military – in wartime or peacetime.
