A day to reflect and honor those to whom we are forever indebted

November 11, 2021

We at the Fernandina Observer add our voices and our thanks for the countless men and women who have selflessly fought for American freedom and democracy.

Each American veteran is a source of strength and pride for our country… Americans — and millions of people around the world as well — enjoy the blessings of freedom, peace, and representative government because our veterans were willing to risk their lives for them. We are forever grateful for these selfless individuals… ~President George H. W. Bush, Veterans Day Proclamation, 1989
