Veterans Day in America
Veterans Day is an American holiday dedicated to honoring its military veterans. Here is the background for why America celebrates Veterans Day on November 11th of each year.
In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between the Allied forces and Germany in World War I. The following year, many countries celebrated November 11th as Armistice Day.
In the United States, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919 as the first national commemoration of Armistice Day. Throughout America, there were parades, picnics, and public speeches, as well as a moment of prayer in schools and businesses at 11:00 a.m.
Two years later, on November 11, 1921, an unidentified American soldier killed in World War I was laid to rest at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, just outside Washington, DC. President Warren G. Harding presided over the ceremony.
On June 4, 1926, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution that the “recurring anniversary of [November 11, 1918] should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.” Congress also resolved that the president should issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of Armistice Day.
On May 13, 1938, Congress made November 11th an official federal holiday, “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day.” As a formal matter, there is no such thing as a national holiday in the U.S. Each state retains the right to designate their own holidays, and the federal government can only designate holidays for federal employees and the District of Columbia. Historically, however, most states have followed the federal list of holidays.
In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, there was a movement by military service organizations to honor American veterans more broadly. As a result, in 1954, the U.S. Congress amended the 1938 law establishing Armistice Day, by changing the word “Armistice” to “Veterans.” President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the amendment on June 1, 1954, and from that day forward, November 11th was known as Veterans Day – a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Neoclassicistic Architecture at Independence Avenue (Washington, D.C.)
at 1:01 some trigger happy cops at 9/11 2012.
from wikipedia: Because Independence Avenue forms the southern boundary of the National Mall, it is lined on the north side by several Smithsonian museums and on the south side by federal agencies, including the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Department of Health and Human Services, Voice of America (VOA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), United States Coast Guard, and the United States Department of Energy. The USDA occupies buildings on both sides of the avenue, connected by a pedestrian bridge over the avenue. Independence Avenue also passes by the United States Botanic Garden, the House office buildings and the Library of Congress and through the city's Capitol Hill and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.

Tyranny Response Team Exposes the D.C. POLICE STATE: Jefferson Memorial
The Police State is Here!
Members of the South New Jersey Tyranny Response Team recently took a trip to Washington DC. It was a simple trip planned just to take a look at the monuments and museums. No protests were scheduled, nor had any new or notable threats been issued during the time we were there.
Despite this we were met with an amazingly large and intimidating police state. Police were literally standing on every corner in many areas of the city. We noted police from at least 5 different law enforcement agencies. At no time did we feel comfortable, but not because of the criminals, because of those that were supposedly there to protect us. Cameras were hidden or concealed at every location imaginable, sirens could be heard throughout most of the trip and police with assault rifles glared at us from atop the capitol building.
Our capitol should represent and be a demonstration of liberty and freedom. It should be a representation of all of America.
Sadly, it is... America has become a police state.
In Part 4 we expose that the Jefferson Memorial has been turned into a high tech surveillance zone with a security camera directly above the word tyranny in Jefferson's famous quote. I think they are trying to tell us something.
