Honor Your Local Veterans on Patch

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs website, in November 1919, when President Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of "Armistice Day," what would eventually become Veterans' Day, he said the day, "...will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory…."

The day was officially recognized by Congress with a concurrent resolution in 1926 and then modified in 1954 to become "Veterans' Day" as we know it today, but the "solemn pride" Wilson commemorated in that original proclamation is still shown by communities all over the country every Nov. 11.

On this Veterans' Day, the Norwood community would like to honor:

Arthur D. Stentiford - Army

Micheal P. Noonan - Navy

Jeff Grasso - Air Force

David R. Stentiford - Army

Anna Noonan - Army

All active, retired and deceased service people
