US President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an "Armistace Day" for November 11, 1918. In proclaiming the holiday he said...
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistace Day will be filled with lots of 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 for the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations."
In 1954, Armistace Day was changed to Veterans Day to pay honor to those that fell in World War 2. And those words that were spoken almost a hundred years ago, apply even to this day.
Wishing one of our very own Scrap-N-Stamp gals, Sommer (Army helicopter pilot), a very happy Veterans Day. We appreciate that you are here with us "scrappin" away and thank you for the service that you provided to make us safer. The girls at Scrap-N-Stamp thank those that served and those that are currently serving our country. We would also like to thank all of the people that support the armed forces of the Unites States. Especially to the spouses and significant others who deal with long deployments, late nights at the office and other hardships that a military life may bring. It takes a special person to truly understand and deal with this lifestyle. In honor of Veterans Day, we will be offering everyone our military discount of 20% of every purchase on Friday November 12 through Saturday November 13 (excludes classes and giftcards).
