Original Message: Veterans Day Nov. 11th, Why the 11th? |
---|
"Veterans Day is approaching, a day we honor our military veterans from
all branches of service. It is always commemorated on Nov. 11 because
the major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th
hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the armistice with
Germany went into effect." (AccessWDUN) I never knew that. RW |
