In the U.S., Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I with the signing of an armistice at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, in Compiègne, France—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Today we celebrate Veterans Day as a way of saying 'thank you' to those that have served this country. So on behalf of the Gamesville team we want to thank all the servicemen and women that have come here to make Gamesville a great destination for games and fun.

Happy Veterans Day, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at Gamesville.com!

It's been said before, but it bears repeating: Thanksgiving isn't really about the food or the football; it's about with whom you spend the day and what you do with your time. If you're fortunate enough to have family and friends around--whether they're with you physically or online with you in a game--today is a day to give thanks and reflect on how lucky you truly are!

The team at Gamesville wants to thank you all for making a place for Gamesville in your home; we are, all of us here at Gamesville HQ, grateful for your time and patronage.

Have a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving everyone!
