Veterans day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans. Veterans day coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War 1.
On this day SOMS would like to honor the veterans who are currently staff members and/or the immediate family or friends of current staff members.
