Veteran’s Day Message from National Commander Bill Andrea

USSVI News | November 9, 2023

Shipmates,

In November of 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. In 1954, Congress passed a bill that President Eisenhower signed proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day.

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I would like to take this time to wish you all a Happy Veteran’s Day and thank you for your service to our country.

Let us take a moment in silent meditation to honor all of our veterans and those currently serving, especially those deployed and/or on patrol in harm’s way throughout the world.

Respectively,
Bill Andrea
National Commander
