VETERANS DAY Celebrating

Day is a particularly poignant time to show your appreciation for the men and women of the military.

The month of November is a special time for the nation’s veterans. While Memorial Day honors fallen soldiers and service people, Veteran’s Day, which takes place each November, is an opportunity to commemorate the efforts of all who have been in the armed forces, with a special emphasis on living veterans. While people are encouraged to thank veterans throughout the year, Veteran’s

Veteran’s Day takes place on November 11 and marks an important moment in history. On November 11, 1918, World War I, known at the time as “The Great War,”unofficially ended when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, took place between Germany and the Allied nations on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. World War I ended on paper when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, according to the U.S.

Department of Veterans Affairs. Armistice Day became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. However, after subsequent wars, including World War II and the Korean War, veterans’ service organizations lobbied for Armistice Day to be revised so it would be more inclusive of all veterans. On June 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation to strike the word “Armistice” from the holiday’s name in favor of “Veterans.” Since then, November 11 has been known as “Veterans Day” and has honored veterans of all wars.

Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday in October for roughly seven years under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which sought to ensure three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating certain national holidays on Mondays. But since November 11 bore such significance, many states disapproved and continued to observe the holiday on November 11. In 1975,

President Gerald Ford signed legislation to return the observation of Veterans Day to November 11 beginning in 1978. Should the day fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively, according to History.com. The United States isn’t the only country to celebrate its veterans. Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and France also commemorate the veterans of World War I and II on or near November 11 as Remembrance Day or Remembrance Sunday.

THE ROLES OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES

OF THE U.S. MILITARY

Each November, people across the United States and its territories honor the brave men and women who serve and have served in the various branches of the country’s military. Veterans Day is observed annually every November 11 and honors the service of all U.S. military veterans. The day should not be confused with Memorial Day, which is celebrated each year in May and honors all military personnel who have died in service.

Veterans Day is a great time for anyone to learn more about the various branches of the U.S. military.

ARMY

The U.S. Department of Defense notes that the Army is the largest and oldest service in the country’s military. The Army provides the ground forces that protect the United States. Members of the Army are trained to defeat enemy ground forces and to seize and control enemy lands and resources. Army also are trained to control and interact with the general population in countries where members are stationed.

MARINE CORPS.

It might surprise some to learn that the Marine Corps. is a component of the DepartmentoftheNavy.That’s one reason why maintains amphibious and ground units for contingency and combat operations. The Marine Corps. is divided into four groups: the operating forces that fight; the headquarters for leadership; the supporting establishment that provides logistical support; and the Marine Corps. Reserve.

NAVY

The Navy protects America

at sea. Despite its massive land mass, the United States is a maritime nation, which underscores how important a strong Navy is to the safety of the country and its residents.

The Navy works alongside American allies and partners to keep the seas open and free.

AIR FORCE

The Air Force has five core missions: air superiority; global strike; rapid global mobility; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and command and control. The Air Force defends the country and its residents in air, space and cyberspace and is capable of delivering forces anywhere in the world within hours.

SPACE FORCE

The existence of the Space Forcemaycomeasasurpriseto many Americans. Organized under the Department of the Air Force and established in 2019, this branch of the military organizes, trains and equips space forces in order to protect the interest of America and its allies in space.

COAST GUARD

During peacetime, the Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security. In times of war, it operates under the Navy. The Coast Guard provides law and maritime safety enforcement as well as environmental protection. In addition to promoting national security, border security and economic prosperity in the maritime environment, the Coast Guard saves those in

peril on the sea.

GUARD

NATIONAL

The National Guard is comprised of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. The National Guard has a diverse array of responsibilities that range from supporting combat missions to responding during domestic emergencies

to assisting in humanitarian efforts and more.

The U.S. military is made up various branches, each with its own unique missions and responsibilities. Veterans Day marks the perfect occasion to celebrate the many individuals who have served and continue to serve in the U.S. military.

Memorial Day and Veterans Day each honor the military, though the two holidays are not the same. Memorial Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, honors the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving in the American military. Many communities host memorial ceremonies honoring their fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, ensuring such soldiers’ bravery and sacrifices are

never forgotten. While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer, the weekend should not be celebrated without also pausing to reflect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives in defense of freedom and the American way of life.

Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 and recognizes all men

and women who have served in the military. Veterans Day coincides with Remembrance Day, which is a celebrated by the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 member states with connections to the British Empire. Though Veterans Day and Remembrance Day are each celebrated on November 11, the latter recognizes armed forces members who died in the line of duty, making it more similar to Memorial Day than Veterans Day. It’s not uncommon for people to recognize fallen soldiers on Veterans Day, but many use the holiday to express their appreciation to existing veterans.

DID YOU KNOW?

Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada are celebrated annually in November to honor the many individuals who have served in each country’s military. That figure is a sizable one in the United States, as data from the Department of Veterans Affairs indicates there were around 19 million U.S. military veterans in

2021. Population estimates indicate that Canada has a little more than one-tenth the total population of its immediate neighbor to the south, so the number of living Canadian veterans is significantly smaller than it is in the U.S. However, analysis of Veterans Affairs Canada data estimates there were just under 618,000 veterans of Canada’s military in 2021.

Orleans Township Ordinance Number 2022-01

Ordinance No. 2022-01 regulates solar energy and wind energy production on land within the Township so as to protect the health, safety, and welfare of Township citizens. It requires proposed developers of such systems to obtain preliminary and final site plan approval from the Township Board. The ordinance defines relevant terms used in the ordinance. It outlines the requirements for the preliminary and final site plan applications, as well as supporting material needed. Among those materials are, among other things: a scaled drawing of the proposed project; an environmental impact study; a description of maintenance of the system(s); security measures; surface water drainage plans; and landscaping and screening plans. The ordinance requires the applicant to provide the Township with an escrow account to cover the Township’s reasonable costs in reviewing the proposed project. The ordinance also requires that any project to comply with state and national electric safety codes, as well as requiring the Township Board to only approve projects that it determines do not pose an Unreasonable Safety Hazard to occupants, surrounding properties, and wildlife. The ordinance requires appropriate maintenance and repair of projects. The ordinance contains dimensional limitations and design standards including, but not limited to: area requirements; setbacks; maximum heights; noise limits; screening and security measures; and abandonment and decommissioning provisions.
