On the on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the fighting of World War I ceased when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect. Since then, November 11 has been set aside as a day to honor America's veterans.
Tomorrow, my office, as well as most King County offices, will be closed to observe Veterans Day and I hope you will join me in taking that time to reflect on the gratitude and respect we owe to the veterans in our community. I want to send my heartfelt appreciation to each veteran and their family for their service and sacrifices.
If you or a veteran you know needs help, the King County Veterans Program is here to support you, including mental health services, housing and financial stability resources, and employment assistance.
Sincerely,
Claudia Balducci King County Council District 6
