Veterans Day History

“The Great War” (now called World War I) ended in June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. However, an armistice (agreement to stop fighting) had already taken effect on November 11, 1918 — on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

We continue to observe Veterans Day on November 11, taking the opportunity to celebrate our veterans and honor their service & sacrifices, in both war & peace.
