The
Veterans Day Story... At the 11th hour, on the
11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of WWI fell silent and "Armistice
Day" was born. Eight years later a Presidential Proclamation invited
people to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies. With the passage
of time it was changed to "Veterans Day". The national focal
point for the official Veterans Day observance is at the Tomb of the Unknowns
where the Presidential wreath is placed. Click HERE
