So sister, a lot of us have a three day weekend
00:02
But do you know why?
00:03
Well, brother Veterans Day,
00:05
but I'm gonna be real with you.
00:07
I don't really know the origin story.
00:09
Me either. But our writers actually provide us a story.
00:12
So let's break it down.
00:13
Yeah. So Veterans Day originally started as Armistice Day.
00:16
Back in 1919, it marked the end of World War One
00:19
when fighting stopped on November 11th at the 11th hour of the
00:23
11th day of the 11th month.
00:25
Damn so many elevens.
00:28
Them crystal, ladies,
00:29
man, they must have been having a field day going crazy
00:32
that day. Seriously,
00:33
all the angel numbers lady are going to be like.
00:36
So in 1954 President Dwight D Eisenhower signed a law of officially
00:40
tuning Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
00:43
Honor all us military veterans no matter which war they served in
00:46
So it's not just about one war anymore.
00:49
It's about honoring all veterans who served our country.
00:52
Does it honor the battles?
00:53
My stomach has fighting after my sue Frijoles.
00:56
No. So you got to see a doctor for that one
00:57
So Veterans Day is a proper reminder of the dedication and
01:00
bravery of our veterans.
01:01
And that's what we observe Veterans Day,
01:02
every November 11th salute,
01:05
but not really like Frijoles jokes aside,
01:08
all jokes aside. Like,
01:09
we really appreciate you guys,
01:12
guys really,
01:13
you know, did it for everybody in the country and we
01:16
appreciate it and, I mean,
01:18
enjoy your day off.
