Veteran's Day Tribute

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month......

The Great War, later to be named World War 1, ended.  An Armistice was called and the day was originally called Armistice Day until after the Korean War, when it was renamed Veteran's Day.

The day was named a federal holiday in 1938 (while still Armistice Day).

Please, remember our Veteran's who have suffered and died to keep us free.....
