The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Veterans Day is a time to celebrate and honor America’s most precious resource, the Veteran. The Veteran that swore or affirm to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Veterans that are Living and those that laid down their lives in defense of our nation.
The Association of Bridal Consultants, lead by our President, David Wood, continues to honor our Veterans on November 11 th with a Musical Tribute at Annual Conference. We have Veteran Owned and Operated Businesses within the Association of Bridal Consultants. My company, P3 Weddings & Eventsbeing one of them.
