Remembrance...


On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.


 November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
Armistice Day, the federal holiday on November 11, 2010
also known as Remembrance Day.

Thank you to all, who have served our Country...
