Dutchess County FAVORs
veterans Dutchess County will
participate in the Find and Assist Veterans of Record program. Ulster County has the FAVOR program also. A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown

Veterans
Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first
anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in
1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday
beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in
1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who
served in all American wars. The day has evolved into also honoring
living military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A
national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington
National Cemetery inVirginia.
