Ninety-three years ago, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11th Armistice Day to honor the soldiers who had fought in World War I.  On June 1, 1954 the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all those who have and continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces.

We, at Reel Tributes, have had many wonderful opportunities to meet those brave men and women who have served our country and to preserve their stories.

Remember to proudly fly your flag today! And be sure to thank those in your life who have served our country.

On this Veteran’s Day, whether you are on active duty, discharged, retired or in the reserves, we honor, salute and thank you for your service to America and to the cause of freedom. We hope that you record the stories of your experiences in the military, so future generations can appreciate the sacrifices that went into making our nation so great.
