Loveland, Ohio – In contrast to Loveland Magazine reporter Sean Behling’s photo essay of the annual parade which shows a quite festive crowd, these photos show a completely different mood once the ceremony began at the Veterans’ Memorial in the West Loveland Historic District.

An Extraordinary Plea
Dear Loveland Area Friends,
We are one keystroke and one shutter click away from a technological disaster.
We work from 11-year-old computers and an eight-year-old video camera. This video took perhaps 20 hours longer to edit and produce than it should have because of the antiquated equipment we use.
If you see yourself in this video, a loved one, a best friend, or your favorite Veteran, will you please consider making a donation today?
If you now live out of town or just couldn’t be there and this video adds value to your life by us bringing you to the parade and ceremony, will you please consider making a donation today?
With great appreciation and love,
David, Cassie, (and Sean)

This year, Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11
According to the History Channel, Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States in honor of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, known as Armistice Day.
In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress, which moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. The law went into effect in 1971, but in 1975 President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date.
Veterans Day commemorates veterans of all wars.
Great Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World War I and World War II on or near November 11th: Canada has Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November).
In Europe, Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.
Every Veterans Day and Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery holds an annual memorial service. The cemetery is home to the graves of over 400,000 people, most of whom served in the military.
