What Is Veterans Day?
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I.

For over 14 years, I have walked The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. It started in memory of my Nana, losing her at 8 yrs old has made me want to make a difference and fight to battle cancer for others. We have all sadly known someone inflicted with this disease.
