The South Hill Rotary Club welcomed Jimmy Walker with American Legion Psot 79 in South Hill as guest speaker last week. He reminded members about Veterans Day on November 11 and gave a brief history and comments on it.
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.

The South Hill Rotary Cub welcomed Attorney Charles Butts with Butts and
Butts Law Office in South Hill as guest speaker recently. He updated the
club about some of the laws concerning real estate fraud and title fraud.
Although they have not seen much of it in the area, it has become a concern
in more populated areas so recognizing some of the red flags such as
problems with cashier's checks and other paperwork is one way to deter some
of the fraud. Pictured: Butts and Club President Charles Wright. Lisa Clary
