Cada 11 de noviembre, Estados Unidos honra a los valientes hombres y mujeres que han servido en las Fuerzas Armadas de la nación. Esta festividad tiene profundas raíces en la historia del país, ya que comenzó como Día del Armisticio, conmemorando el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial el 11 de noviembre de 1918. Más tarde, en 1954, pasó a llamarse Día de los Veteranos para honrar a todos los veteranos de guerra estadounidenses, independientemente del conflicto en el que hubieran servido.
En el Día de los Veteranos, recordamos que la libertad y la paz que disfrutamos como nación son el resultado de los sacrificios desinteresados de generaciones de valientes hombres y mujeres. A través de estas frases, expresamos nuestro agradecimiento a quienes han jurado proteger y servir a nuestra nación, y les recordamos que su legado nunca será olvidado.
Este día especial es una oportunidad para mostrar gratitud a aquellos que han sacrificado mucho en nombre de la libertad y la seguridad de la nación. Para expresar nuestro agradecimiento, compartiremos 30 frases emotivas que nos recuerdan la importancia de reconocer y apreciar a nuestros veteranos.
