Friends DOR DORO OTHY Metra's calendar of EVENTS, that lets you know where all the HOT spots are! By: AuntieM4Doro@aol.com
Welcome my little pets! Normally I like to have a little fun in my column. But, today before the silly begins I want to take a minute to educate (the youngsters) and celebrate Veterans Day. Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as Veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11th. It is the anniversary of the end of World War I (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.) It was originally known as Armistice Day. In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks had the idea to expand Veterans Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to General Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the Idea of National Veterans Day! I don’t know about you, but I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free and I won’t forget the men and women who died, and gave that right to me! If it wasn’t for those people and the ones who continue to serve I would not be able to write this column and you would not be able to read it. Let freedom ring in Metraland! ...ILLINOIS Chicago: 2nd STORY (312-923-9536), Its Chicago’s best kept secret! As mentioned in previous reviews this place is highly unexpected.
