Motion to observe Friday, November 11, 2022 as National Veterans Day.
Body
Background:
Veterans Day is a U.S. legal holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. The observation of Veterans Day was set as the fourth Monday in October. In 1975, after it became evident that the actual date of Veterans Day carried historical and patriotic significance to many Americans, President Gerald Ford signed a new law returning the observation of Veterans Day to November 11th beginning in 1978.
