Veterans Day Honors Those Who Serve |
 Veterans Day Holiday History
Formerly Armistice Day, Veterans day is a holiday observed annually in the United States in honor of all those, living and dead, who served with the U.S. armed forces in wartime.
Some states observe the holiday on November 11 and other on the fourth Monday in October. Armistice Day, the forerunner of Veterans Day, was proclaimed in 1919 to commemorate the termination (at 11 am on November 11, 1918) of World War I. On the first anniversary of the truce, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation eulogizing fallen Allied soldiers and referring to November 11 as Armistice Day. It became a holiday in the U.S., France, Great Britain and Canada.
The holiday acquired its present name and broadened significance in the U.S. in 1954. In Canada it is known as Remembrance Day, and in Great Britain, as Remembrance Sunday.

Whether due to high gas prices, shrinking personal time, or the Internet's daily inclusion in our lives, a recent study revealed that over 90 percent of adults regularly research products, services, and brands online before buying them. We might say shoppers are saving two critical life elements - time and money - by spending some pre-shopping time online.

People Now Driving Their Auto Shopping Online |
 More people than ever are using online auto showroom, classifieds and research to make car and accessory purchases. Remember the first time you bought something online? Your purchase price was probably negligible (perhaps a book from Amazon.com or a clothing item from Sears), and yet a little uncomfortable. There was something about buying sight unseen and sending credit card information into cyberspace that initially unnerved the most technologically savvy among us. Yet, in just a few short years, America has gone from agonizing over minor Internet transactions to conducting major complex purchases online without batting an eye. Nowhere is this significant economic transition more apparent than in the acquisition of cars and car insurance. |
