With Veterans Day coming soon, I wanted to share some thoughts from Woodrow Wilson. He was the U.S, President during World War I. When the World War I ended, the people of our nation wanted to honor the veterans who served. Since the armistice (or treaty) to end the war was signed on November 11, that day was declared the day to honor our veterans. Initially it was called Armistice Day. After World War II, the name was changed to Veteran's Day.
Below are some quotes from Woodrow Wilson:
"There are a good many problems before the American people today, and before me as President, but I expect to find the solution of those problems just in the proportion that I am faithful in the study of the Word of God."
"I am sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and the pleasure."
"The sum of the whole matter is this, that our nation cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the Spirit of Christ and being made free and happy of the practices which spring out of that Spirit."
It is our job as parents to ensure that our children are aware of where we as a nation came from.
Happy Veterans Day, Robin
