Steve’s Flowers and Gifts

November 11th is Veterans Day . The history behind this important national holiday is that in 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, all major hostilities of World War I were formally ended.  Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day and was created to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans. A respectable way to honor a Veteran on this special day, is to send a flower arrangement or plant from Steve’s Flowers and Gifts.

President Woodrow Wilson gave a memorable speech in 1919 during which he  commended the men and women of the United States military. “To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations”.

Both Armistice Day and Remembrance Day are celebrated in other countries as a remembrance to the end of World War I. In 1954, Veterans Day became the official name for our United States day to honor our military men and women. Veterans Day differs from Memorial Day. While both days honor our military, Memorial Day is designated to honor those who died while fighting for our country. Veterans Day is designated to honor all of the military folks who have served our country.

In addition to an elegant floral product from Steve’s Flowers and Gifts, below is a short list of ideas for other kind acts to honor a Veteran.

  • Hire a veteran’s caregiver – Offering support to veteran’s families is so valuable. Plus many of these folks are incredible employees.
  • Volunteer your skills – If you have knowledge of a trade or financial planning etc., veterans can benefit from your volunteer teaching.
  • Donate Money – There are several organizations that support veterans and they can always use private donations.
  • Donate frequent-flyer miles – For any of us that travel a lot for work or pleasure, perhaps you have accumulated some extra travel miles that you may not use. One organization that would love the free flyer miles is the Fisher House Foundation Hero Miles Program. They are dedicated to assisting family members with travel expenses so that they can be close to their loved one who may be ill or injured.
  • Veteran Speaker – Many veterans have wonderful and inspirational stories of over coming adversity and never giving up. Find one that enjoys speaking to other veterans.
  • Hire a veteran – If you own a small business or are in a hiring position at a company, perhaps hire a veteran who is anxious to get out into the working world.
  • Do business with a veteran-owned company – Astonishingly there are an estimated 27 million veteran owned small businesses in the U.S. These companies are run by the fine men and women that defended our country. You will find some of the most trustworthy services and quality products.
