It’s time to remember our veterans.
Veterans Day is Tuesday, Nov. 11. The U.S. holiday was originally called Armistice Day, because it commemorated the date and time — Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. — of the signing of the cease-fire that ended World War I. In 1919, on the first anniversary of the armistice, President Woodrow Wilson said that the day would “be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service.” According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, it was to be “a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11 a.m.”
