Veterans: A Cut Above Today is the day we honor, the noble and the brave, the men and woman who dedicated their lives, and the sacrifices that they have made.

When America had an urgent need, they were the first to raise their hand, without thinking twice about it, they were proud to take a stand.

Some came back from war with battle scars, others in flagged draped coffins, even though their flesh may have left, their spirits will never be forgotten.

They unselfishly and knowingly, put their lives on the line, so when you see a veteran, thank them, cause without them, freedom would have died.

Veterans Day 101: How did it start, what it means

By David Allen Veterans Day is a solemn and thoughtful time where we give thanks to all of those that have served in America’s military forces. A day where we can hopefully take a brief respite from our partisan bickering to pay homage to those that made it all possible.

Because while the war in Iraq is essentially over, Afghanistan begins to wind down, and we start using drones for everything from surveillance to attacking nothing can replace the efforts of our veterans past and present. And let’s hope we can make the right decisions as a country for the sake of the veterans of the future. Here are four things to know about Veterans Day.

1. How did it start?

Veterans Day was first called Armistice Day to commemorate the ending of WWI. It was first proclaimed by Woodrow Wilson on November 11th, 1919.

2. How did Armistice Day become Veterans Day?

A WWII veteran, Raymond Weeks worked tirelessly starting in 1945 to expand Armistice Day to include all veterans. With the help of Dwight D. Eisenhower Veterans Day was celebrated for the first time nationally in 1947. In 1954, Congressman Ed Rees presented a bill that was eventually signed into law that changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day officially.

4.

Who was the last living American WWI veteran?

If Veterans Day had stayed Armistice Day and only celebrated WWI veterans then Frank Buckles would have been the last man to be honored alive having served in WWI and dying at the age of 110 on February 27th, 2011.

3. What’s the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day?

Veterans Day celebrates all who served in the armed forces while Memorial Day celebrates those who died while serving.

Latter day conflicts in U.S. history The following lists latter day military conflicts involving the United States, those that took place around the time Armistice Day was created.

World War I (1914–1918)

Rivalries over power, territory, and wealth led to the “Great War.” In 1917, the U.S. joined the Allies (Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and Japan), who were at war with the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey), after German submarines began sinking unarmed ships.

munist.

Lebanon (1982–1984)

U.S. troops formed part of a multinational peacekeeping force to help the fragile Lebanese government maintain power.

Grenada (1983)

President Reagan invaded the Caribbean nation of Grenada to overthrow its socialist government, which had close ties with Cuba.

Panama (1989)

World War II (1939– 1945)

The Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—attempted to dominate the world. The Allies (U.S., Britain, France, USSR, and others) fought to stop them. The United States entered the war in 1941, after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Germany surrendered in 1945, and Japan surrendered later that same year, after the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Korean War (1950–1953)

Communist North Korea, supported by China, invaded non-communist South Korea. UN forces, principally made up of U.S. troops, fought successfully to protect South Korea. The Korean War was the first armed conflict in the global struggle between democracy and communism, called the cold war.

Bay of Pigs (1961)

The U.S. orchestrated the invasion, an unsuccessful attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro’s communist regime in Cuba.

Vietnam War (1961–1973)

In 1955, communist North Vietnam invaded non-communist South Vietnam in an attempt to unify the country and impose communist rule. The United States joined the war on the side of South Vietnam in 1961, but withdrew combat troops in 1973. In 1975 North Vietnam succeeded in taking control of South Vietnam.

Dominican Republic (1965)

4 November 1, 2013 THE MILITARY PRESS

President George H.W. Bush invaded Panama and overthrew Panamanian dictator and drugsmuggler Manuel Noriega.

Gulf War (1991)

Iraq invaded Kuwait, and a U.S.-led multinational force came to Kuwait’s aid and expelled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s forces.

Somalia (1993)

A U.S.-led multinational force attempted to restore order to war-torn Somalia so that food could be delivered and distributed within the famine-stricken country.

Bosnia (1994–1995)

During the Bosnian civil war, which began shortly after the country declared independence in 1992, the U.S. launched air strikes on Bosnia to prevent “ethnic cleansing,” primarily by Serbs against Bosnians. The U.S. became a part of NATO’s peacekeeping force in the region.

Kosovo (1999)

Yugoslavia’s province of Kosovo erupted into violence in the spring of 1999. A U.S.-led NATO force intervened with air strikes after Slobodan Milosevic’s Serbian forces uprooted the population and embarked on the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian population.

Global War on Terror

VETERANS DAY 2013 BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE

Famous folks who served BEA ARTHUR

Best known for her role as Dorothy on the show “The Golden Girls,” Bea was also once a truck driver in the Marine Corps. She stands as one of the first members of the Women’s Reserve and aside from driving military trucks, she was also a typist. Despite being a pioneer in terms of female veterans, Bea kept her military service a secret until she was nearing death.

MONTEL WILLIAMS

Montel Williams enlisted with the U.S. Marines after graduating high school in 1974. After

JIMI HENDRIX

Who would have ever guessed that the man who became famous for his amazing guitar playing and musical composition was once in the military? Back when he was known as James Marshall Hendrix and at the ripe age of 18, Jimi had the choice between going to jail or joining the Army, after stealing a car. He served in the Army for 11 months but was honorably discharged due to an ankle injury. It comes as no surprise that Jimi wasn’t the best soldier and instead did things his own way, including playing his guitar in the barracks when others were trying to sleep.

SHAGGY

Though his popularity has dwindled a bit, Shaggy was once a popular voice heard on the airwaves. But, before he became a well known R&B and reggae artist, he was known as Orville Burrell. In 1988 he joined the U.S. Marines and served in the Gulf War. After this experience, Shaggy became more grounded and even more committed to making music. In 1993 he released his debut album and things only went up from there.

CHUCK NORRIS

If you couldn’t tell by the outfit, Chuck Norris was once enlisted in the U.S. Army and today shows plenty of support for the military. This should come as no surprise, especially if you’ve seen his movies and the stunts that he’s been able to pull off as a world known martial artist. Chuck entered the military right after high school and decided to join the Air Force. He was stationed in Korea, which fueled his passion to learn about and practice martial arts. He became the first American to earn an eighth-degree Black Belt. After the Air Force, he became a prominent actor and martial arts enthusiast.

impressing his superiors, he was sent to the U.S. Naval Academy and in 1976 was honorably discharged from the Marines and then enlisted as a midshipman in the Navy. In 1980, Montel became the first black enlisted marine to graduate from the Academy Prep School. After being sent to Guam, California, and Maryland, Montel found a love and compassion for speaking, which inspired him to leave the Navy, after ranking as Lieutenant, and become a talk show host.

HUGH HEFNER

Long before Hugh Hefner ever became the face of Playboy and one of the most well-known playboys of all time, he served as a U.S. Army Soldier during WWII. In 1,946 he was released from the Army and became a copywriter for Esquire Magazine. After deciding that he wanted to make a real name for himself, Hefner raised thousands of dollars in order to launch the Playboy magazine and released the first centerfold: a nude picture of Marilyn Monroe.

Hospital during the time of the Korean War to take care of patients.

During his time in the Navy, he won several awards for being on the track team. In 1960, Cosby was honorably discharged.

He then went on to earn a degree from Temple University as well as the University of Massachusetts. Not too long after that, Cosby became a well-known face on the TV as an entertainer and actor.

ICE-T

Before he became Ice-T and a famous rapper and actor, Tracey Marrow was a soldier in the U.S. Army.

He joined the forces after graduating in 1979. He was part of the Army for four years and was then honorably discharged in 1983 in order to pursue a career as a rapper and musician. Just four years later, his first album was released, which put his name on the charts for years to come.

DREW CAREY

Drew Carey is probably best known for his comedic acting on The Drew Carey Show. If there’s something else he’s easily spotted by,

it’s his glasses and short-cut blonde hair, which he claims stayed with him after his time in the Marine Corps Reserves. He served as a reservist from 1980 until 1986. During his time there, he was told to go out and try to tell jokes to make money, which eventually landed him a spot in show business.

MC HAMMER

Way before he ever wore his famous parachute pants, MC Hammer, also known as Stanley Burrell, was part of the U.S. Navy as well as the bat boy for the Oakland A’s. After college didn’t go as planned, he joined the Navy and worked as an Aviation Storekeeper for three years. Once his service was done, he jumped right into a music career that inevitably launched his road to stardom and fame.

MYSTIKAL

Mystical, who was born Michael Tyler, is best known as being a rapper, but before he made it big in the rap world, he served in the Gulf War in the U.S. Army. During the war he worked as a combat engineer which some say influenced his ability to come up with witty lyrics that were crafty yet flowed off the tongue. During his height of fame, Mystical had create a rapping style of his own that set him apart from anyone else.

BILL COSBY

In 1956, Bill Cosby joined the U.S. Navy and served as a hospital corpsman on various ships at Quantico inVirginia. He was also sent to Bethesda Naval

“Eleven cents,” says the bartender.

The customer says he’s going to recommend this place to all of his friends because of the low prices. “Wow!” he exclaims. “Where’s the manager so I can thank him for these low prices and shake his hand?”

“Upstairs,” says the bartender, “with my wife.”

“What’s he doing upstairs with your wife?” the customer asks.

“Same thing I’m doing to his bar and his money,” the bartender calmly replies.

As he gets off his horse, the cowboy kisses his horse on the butt before coming in and asking for a drink.

The bartender serves him and asks, “Mind if I ask why’d ya kiss your horse on the butt?”

The cowboy says, “It’s ‘cause I’ve got chapped lips.”

The bartender asks, “Does manure help them heal?”

The cowboy replies, “No, but it keeps me from licking them.”
