November Holiday Plans ~



November is here and so are two National holidays: Veterans Day and Thanksgiving.

Initially, known after World War One as Armistice Day – when on the 11th month, on the 11th day at the 11th hour the treaty ending World War One was signed. As the U.S.  has faced more wars since then, our nation has chosen to honor all our service members with a day giving them our sincere tribute.

Thank you to those men and women and your families who faithfully have served our country. Your sacrifice and service are valued and revered. 

Thanksgiving – a time set aside by our U.S. Congress and first President to Thank God for His providence and protection. 

“By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness…”
- said by George Washington in New York, Oct. 3, 1789

As these are times Americans prefer to spend time with loved ones, let Navarre Vacation Rentals recommend making your family holiday memories at Navarre Beach.
