HONORING CORNERSTONE’
S VETERANS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
VETERANS DAY 2016
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. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day–a common misunderstanding, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while 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.

being married. With no family around, we depended on each other more than
we probably would have and grew closer together doing that time. Our oldest son was 2 years old when we
moved there, and my second son was born in Wiesbaden at the military
hospital. Others: Father – Art Ehinger Air National GuardBrother- Charles Ehinger Marines 20 years - AfghanistanBrother-In-Law – Scott Kirkpatrick Air National Guard - 20 Years -

briefed that as part of an annual inspection tour, the Queen and Prince of Denmark were
expected to be in attendance at our show that evening. The theatre was old and had an aisle
running down the center of the room and a landing across the center. Where they
intersected, a red carpet was laid out which was roped off. Inside the roped area were 4 chairs, one for the Queen, one for the Prince, one for
the Queen’s Lady-In-Waiting, and the last for the Prince’s Valet. . Following the show, they came
up on stage, met each of us and graciously conveyed with delight with our performance. It
was the finest moment in Carolyn’s career.
