  • Published
  • 92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs
Fairchild Airmen visited several locations throughout Veterans Day to show appreciation and interact with veterans and their families Nov. 11.

An Act approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November each year a legal holiday dedicated to the cause of world peace honoring Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen, American veterans, of all wars. The purpose of Veterans Day is to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
