DigiCopy to offer free Veterans Day cards

Metro Wire Staff

The annual thank you card distribution program has begun at one local business.

In honor of Veterans Day, Nov. 11, DigiCOPY locations in Stevens Point and Wausau will be distributing complimentary Veterans Day cards and envelopes to customers and community members.

The red, white, and blue cards are available through Monday, Nov. 8 at the Stevens Point location, 428 Division St., and the Wausau location, 1800 W. Stewart Ave., during regular business hours, Monday through Saturday.

Participants can pick up the cards for free, and then hand them out to area veterans or veteran groups. Cards should not be returned to the store.

“We wish to share our gratitude by providing the complimentary Veterans Day cards…and for the cost of a stamp or the time it takes to hand-deliver a card, we hope Central Wisconsin will express their ‘thanks’ to those neighbors, family members, and friends who have served or continue to serve their country, said Craig Shuler, president, and CEO of CigiCopy. “We are grateful for the dedicated service of our veterans and grateful for the loyal customers we have in the Stevens Point and Wausau areas.”

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 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.
