Veterans Day is a nationally recognized holiday honoring those who have served in the United States armed forces. This cache is meant to be a simple reminder of the variety of sacrifices of every person who has worn a military uniform in this country. Take a moment and reflect on the meaning. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. A year later President Wilson declared November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The United States Congress also passed a resolution with the same purpose in 1926. Veterans Day coincides with other holidays celebrated in other parts of the world, Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. So, take your day off and enjoy the freedoms that our military has afforded us … go geocaching.
I have a goal for 2014 of hiding caches on days when the month and date match. I hid one cache on 1/1, two caches on 2/2, and three caches on 3/3. This is one of my eleven November hides. Its getting late in the year and I have kept my goal so far but it is definitely getting more difficult, especially with my crazy work schedule. Let me just say, it’s more fun to create a cache page than a homework assignment or exam.
