You did know that this Friday, November the 11th is Veterans Day, right? And that the United States Marine Corps 241st birthday is today, November 10th? And that Saturday, November 12th is the 22nd anniversary of the day that Denton and I met?
Yes, is the answer to all three of those questions.
Veterans Day is a day for us to honor all of those who have served our country with pride and those who are serving today to defend our freedoms. Did you know that Veterans day was formerly called Armistice Day until 1954? Veterans Day and Armistice Day are celebrated on November 11th because World War I was formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.
The Marine Corps birthday is especially important to our family because this is the branch of the military that my awesome husband served in. We are very partial to Marines in my family. At this count we have 7 men in our families that have served in the Marines, and many, many more in the other branches of the military. And I am hearing rumors of more ready to join.
22 years ago this weekend Denton and I met for the first time. We got married four months later. True love and pheromones, with an amazing amount of perseverance, grace from God and grit, I love him more now than I did in 1994.
So in honor of my Marine, he will be getting a lovely present that I know he’s going to love. Grunt Style is a website run by veterans for veterans and others who want to be. They have an amazing array of clothes, backpacks, and other gear that I know your veteran will love too.
