Veteran’s Day!

American-Flag copy
On November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day following World War I stating: “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 the nations…” Since that November our nation has celebrated Veteran’s day. You can learn more about Veteran’s day here.

Today, is a day to put your flag out but its also a day to put yourself out there. Make it a point today to thank a Veteran for his or her service. Our nation is great because of the sacrifice that so many have made to insure our freedom. Today is a great day to call family members, friends, or acquaintances and say thank you for making our nation great.

Celebrate Veteran’s Day with your children. Teach your children about the holiday through local events and various activities. Military.com has some great ideas on how to do this here…  CNN has a nice article on how you can do more on Veteran’s Day here…

Here at Forward March Inc. we would like to take a moment to salute our veterans.

National Day of the Deployed – This Sunday!


national day of deployed

First of all, we want to start this post off right. To all the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who are currently deployed, or have been, we want to salute you and thank you for your service, your sacrifice and your example. The United States of America remains the greatest nation on Earth in no small part because of the sacrifices that men and women have made through their military service. HOOAH!

All of us at Forward March Inc. wish to honor and give a hearty THANK YOU to every one of the brave men and women who have been deployed. The sacrifices of our military often go unnoticed by the media or the public at large. We would like to encourage everyone to make sure to remember our deployed service members. Take the time to reach out and thank them. If you know someone, work with someone or have a family member that has been deployed then pick up the phone, email or write them. Let them know that their sacrifice and service to their nation is appreciated.

RED FRIDAY-01

Many organizations have taken to the campaign of wearing red on Fridays to remember the deployed. Soldier’s Angels has a nice write-up on this here.  Other R.E.D. communities on line such as the R.E.D. community on Facebook can be found here.

Here is some background on the National Day of the Deployed:

October 26th is officially the National Day of the Deployed. The idea for the day started with Shelle Michaels Aberle who approached the North Dakota Governor John Hoeven for an official proclamation for the day founded the day in 2006.

In 2011 Senator John Hoeven led the efforts and co sponsored S.RES.295 for a National Day of the Deployed. The resolution was passed unanimously on the 18th of October, 2011. 2012 marked the first year that the nation observed a National Day of the Deployed.
