A day to honor all the Veterans in the US. It was first set up after WWI to celebrate the Armistice that occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The end of WWI
It is for all Veterans not just those who served in Wartime. WE need the services in peace time as well as war time. These folks still give up years of their lives in service to us.
