Monday, Nov. 11

Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919; however, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice between Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For this reason, Nov. 11 continues to be observed as Veterans’ Day to honor American veterans for their service and sacrifice.
