There are 9.5 million Veterans over age 65 years in our United States (U.S. Census, 2014).<\/p>\n

A few of these brave men and women will be in ACU Chapel today.<\/p>\n

Veteran\u2019s Day <\/a>is special day is set aside to honor our Veterans. It was originally known as\u00a0 Armistice Day and it was renamed Veterans Day in the United States, and Remembrance Day in Great Britain. The holiday was established to honor the date in 1918 when Germany and the Allies signed an armistice agreement to end hostilities in World War I. The armistice was signed at six a.m. on November 11, and the cease-fire took effect five hours later, at “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.”<\/p>\n

Pruett Gerontology Center encourages you to take an opportunity to show gratitude for those that have served and currently serve to keep America safe and free. We must never forget the brave men and women who have sacrificed for our country throughout history and during current conflicts.
\nPlease attend ACU\u2019s special chapel tribute today. The assembly will honor those who have\u00a0served and those who currently serve in the military.<\/p>\n
