In some countries, November 11 is a day to honor those who have served their county in the military. November 11 marks the anniversary of the end of World War I, and is commonly referred to as Armistice, Remembrance, or Veterans Day, depending on where you live. It is a day to express gratitude to all those who have sacrificed so much—including their very lives—in the cause of freedom.

Many faithful members of the Church, from the days of the Mormon Battalion to the present, have courageously stepped forward as guardians of freedom and have served their country with distinction.

On Veterans Day, we join with others in honoring all veterans and their families for their dedicated and valiant service in such a noble cause. Find veterans or active military people today and tell them thanks for their service!
