Veterans Day 2022

From Hinkle Law, Happy Veterans Day, 2022. We are incredibly thankful for our Veterans and their sacrifices.

What is Veterans Day?

This holiday is always observed on November 11th yearly since it was created by Congress in 1938 as a day to honor and thank all American veterans for their service during the war. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs also uses the occasion to raise awareness about veterans' issues and provide services to veterans and their families.

When Did Veterans Day Originate?

The holiday originated when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first commemoration in 1919. Since 1926, November 11 has been an official holiday dedicated to the recognition of military service members. Veterans Day is also meant to honor the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served in the military or other armed services.

What Defines a Veteran?

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs defines "veterans" as people who were at one time members of any branch of America's armed forces that participated in combat during wartime and included those who were awarded medals for their service. The day is known by other names, including:

• Armistice Day
• Veterans' Day
• And Remembrance Day

This federal holiday is a final tribute to all men and women who have served in America's armed forces from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Veterans are reminded of the sense of duty that preceded their service and are honored for their service after the conflict. Veterans Day, as a national holiday, is meant to keep all of America's service members, regardless of their service period or whether they were deployed.

How Does Hinkle Law Support Our Veterans?

At Hinkle Law, we are honored to support our local Veterans. One of the ways we work hard to support our Veterans is by ensuring we protect their rights. Whether a Veteran is mistreated or personally injured, we will do everything we can to hold those responsible accountable.

Veterans Day will be held on November 11, 2022, with commemorations by many of the 50 United States states and government officials. Many authorities, lawyers, and volunteers will use the holiday to raise awareness about veterans' issues, including:
