Veteran's Day

 Veteran's Day, we honor the memory of the Courageous and Patriotic Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, who have given their lives for our freedom and our country.

All of us at Arpin Van Lines, agents, drivers and employees appreciate and thank all Veterans and those who are currently serving our country so bravely in all parts of the world.




U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said

"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."

Congress amended this act on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since
