hold dear. Join us in celebrating their dedication, courage, and unwavering

The History of Veterans
Day
Originally known as Armistice Day, Veterans Day was
established to commemorate the end of World War I, which officially concluded
on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1954, it was
officially renamed Veterans Day to honor all veterans who have served in the
U.S. Armed Forces.
Today, it serves as a day to honor and thank all veterans,
living or deceased, for their service and sacrifice. It's a day to reflect on
the enduring values that make our country great and the men and women who have
defended those values with honor and courage.
