GFP Note: When large groups of people engage in events like Veterans Day memorials, it both creates and releases a tremendous amount of energy. Although these memorials and ceremonies happen in the illusion, the energetic effects are Real and multi-dimensional.

President Barack Obama planned to attend a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Obama said in his Veterans Day proclamation that the country's obligations to those who have served "endure long after the battle ends." He said their courage, self-sacrifice and devotion represent the American character at its best and he encouraged everyone to honor every service member who has ever worn the country's uniforms.

Veterans Day 2013 Marks the End and a Beginning
U.S. News - Paul Shinkman, 11/11/13
Veterans offer advice, even to protesters, on how to talk to them on final wartime holiday
By Veterans Day 2014, the government will have withdrawn
most of its troops from Afghanistan, marking the end
to America's longest war in history.
On Veterans Day 2013, the U.S. finds itself at a similar crossroads. This is the last such holiday Americans will likely observe during war for the first time in more than 12 years. By November 2014, the government and its military might plans to be in the final throes of withdrawing all combat troops from Afghanistan -- perhaps all troops -- thus ending America's longest war in history. President Obama, facing unprecedented public outcry over hawkish policies worldwide, will have fulfilled his campaign promise of ending protracted wars in the Middle East.
For many veterans who spoke with U.S. News, it's a time of great reflection and thoughtfulness both for the circumstances that brought the military to this point, and the herculean task that remains before it.

Veterans Day
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday which honors people who have served in armed service, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.)
U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."[2]
