Puerto Vallarta Observes Veterans & Remembrance Day

October 22, 2013

All American, Canadian and Mexican citizens who are in Puerto Vallarta on November 11th are welcome to join us as we pay tribute to those who gave their lives so the world could live in peace.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Veterans Day is an official United States holiday which honors people who have served in armed service, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed every year on November 11th, and coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I.

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day that has been observed in Commonwealth countries on the second Sunday of November, or the Sunday nearest November 11th. This is to commemorate the First World War, which ended at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. This day (or an alternative date,) is also recognized as a special day for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries in memory of those who sacrificed their lives during wars.

On November 11th, Banderas Bay's American Legion Post 14 will meet at Steve's Sports Bar on Basilio Badillo, (Post 14 Head Quarters) at 10 am. At 10:30, they will walk down to Lazaro Cardenas Park, where they'll pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations.

All American, Canadian and Mexican citizens who are in Puerto Vallarta on this important day in world history are welcome to join us as we pay tribute to those who gave their lives so the world could live in peace.

Serving Puerto Vallarta, La Cruz and Guayabitos, the mission of American Legion Post 14, Headquartered at Steve's Sports Bar on Basilio Badillo, is to Support All Veterans in the Banderas Bay area; to maintain an updated website with information to assist Veterans, to provide sources for medical treatment in Vallarta, and to contribute to the community through various fund raising efforts. Meetings are held every 1st Thursday and 3rd Tuesday. Visit AmericanLegion14.org for more information and meeting locations.
