A brief history to Veterans Day:
Veterans Day has its roots in the end of World War I, a conflict once called “the war to end all wars.”
The fighting officially stopped when an armistice, or temporary peace agreement, was signed between the Allied nations and Germany on November 11, 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
To commemorate that moment, Armistice Day was first observed on November 11, 1919, as a day to honor the soldiers who had fought and died in World War I.
In 1954, following World War II and the Korean War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill officially changing the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, expanding its purpose to honor all American veterans, living and deceased, who served in any branch of the military during times of war or peace.
Although briefly moved to October under the Uniform Holiday Bill in 1968, public support brought it back to its rightful date of November 11 in 1978, where it remains today.
Now, every year on November 11, the nation pauses to recognize the service, sacrifice, and courage of those who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces.
So thank you all for your service. You keep us safe!!!
