Happy Veteran’s Day from Sapling!

Every year, we come together as a nation to even further recognize and pay tribute to the veterans of our country. The sacrifices that they have made during their time in service have provided freedoms that are far too often taken for granted.  Veterans Day is the official United States holiday honoring those who have served in the armed services. The holiday was first proclaimed as “Armistice Day” by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. However, it was not until May 13, 1938 when a congressional act had approved of making the 11th of November a legal holiday.

It wasn’t until 1945 that a World War II veteran had the idea to expand the tradition of Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, and not only those who had given their lives in the First World War. Dwight Eisenhower was the President at the time, and he was in favor of the motion.  Eisenhower was presented with a bill through Congress, which he later signed into law on May 26th, 1954. The act was amended by Congress on June 1st of the same year, officially replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans.”

The Sapling Company manufactures synchronized time systems, which can be extremely helpful to those working on a military base. A Sapling synchronized time system has the ability to synchronize every clock in any military base. This can be extremely beneficial to those serving the military base because of the importance the military stresses on punctuality. The end user is able to manipulate the synchronized time system to his or her desired settings. They can set up schedules for alerts, countdowns, and breaks for all of the personnel in their establishment.

Here at the Sapling Company, we believe wholeheartedly in the importance of giving thanks to those who serve our country not only on Veterans Day, but all year round. We try hard not to take for granted the liberties that haven been given to us by those who serve, and would like to say thank you to everyone who has served in the past and continues to serve today.
