On November 11, the nation observes Veterans Day, a federal holiday dedicated to honoring veterans and active military members. This day has its origins in Armistice Day, marking the end of hostilities between Allied countries and Germany at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie expressed his appreciation for those who have served. He stated, “This is a special day, and one in which we owe gratitude to all our veterans and military members for their service to our country in protection of our freedoms: thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.”
