VETERANS DAY WITH SIMPLISAFE

Every November 11th, we honor our military veterans and families that served in the Armed Forces and commend the immense number of sacrifices of each and every one of our service members, Armistice Day was created in 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that marked the end the fighting of World War I. 

Armistice Day was officially made into a legal national holiday on May 13th, 1938. In 1954, following the end of WWII, the 83rd Congress voted to officially rename the holiday to include all factions of the armed services. November 11th, 1954 was observed as the first official Veterans Day, in honor of American veterans of all wars. In President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Veterans Day Proclamation on October 8th 1954 he addressed the nation saying:

“In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.” 

So this Veterans Day we stand united, under one flag, and celebrate the liberty and justice that the men and women of our armed services have dedicated their lives to defending. The month of November is our chance as citizens to honor the sacrifice and commitment of our service members and service families alike. 

In celebration of Veterans Day this year, SimpliSafe is connecting with these men and women that are our serving or have served our country to give away 50 wireless security systems to help protect their homes!
