Veterans Day Observed for 100 Years!

Veterans Day 2018
100 years after the end of WWI


Veterans Day has been observed every year since 1918, so the tradition is 100 years old this year!
Veterans Day was originally known as Armistice Day because an armistice, or peace/treaty, was signed to end the war, World War I, with the Germans. The documents were signed at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. So what time and day would that be?

November 11, 11 a.m.

Veterans Day in the USA is a reminder to thank those who served in our military for their service and to thank the current service men and women who are protecting our freedom. You don't need to wait to thank a vet. Thank him or her every day of the year!
