Thank You Veterans!

November 11th was declared Veterans Day in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson to honor the soldiers of World War I, and was then known as Armistice Day. We now celebrate this day to honor all veterans that have served for the United States of America. Although World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the fighting between the Allies and Germany had stopped several months before. The fighting ended with the armistice – a temporary suspension of hostilities by agreement of the warring parties – on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. On June 1, 1954 the holiday known as Armistice Day changed to Veterans Day as a tribute for the nobility of all soldiers who have fought for or who are fighting for the U.S. today.
