About Thanksgiving
American Thanksgiving commemorates pilgrims from England surviving their first brutal New England winter with the help of Native Americans. During the winter of 1620 most of the pilgrims stayed on the Mayflower where half of the 102 passengers died from scurvy and exposure. When they came ashore in spring, they were greeted by English speaking natives from the Abenaki and Pawtuxet tribes who showed them how to hunt, fish and farm. That fall, the Pilgrims invited their new found friends for a three day long feast which probably included deer, lobster, fish, and all types of fowl.
About Veterans Day
The first Veterans Day, then called Armistice Day, was on Nov. 11, 1919. Its purpose was to commemorate the signing of the temporary halt to hostilities between the Allied forces and Germany. This treaty effectively ended what was called at the time the "Great War," or "The War to End All Wars," or as we call it today, World War I. The treaty was signed on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. After it became apparent wars were not a thing of the past, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day to honor the sacrifices our service members have made all over the world.
