As a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), BC Holdings of TN honors the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families today. Thank you for your bravery, commitment, and dedication to protecting our freedoms. According to the U.S. Census, 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, making it an annual observance, and it became a national holiday in 1938. Sixteen years later, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing the name to Veterans Day to honor all those who served their country during war or peacetime. As of 2023, there were 15.8 million military veterans in the U.S., of which 1.7 million are female veterans. BC Holdings of TN stands ready to help veterans take control of their financial futures, offering the tools needed to build stability and peace of mind. #VeteransDay #VeteranOwned #VABenefits #FinancialWellness #BCHoldingsTN
