Veterans Day
It's Veterans Day, November 11, 2005!
WWI Veterans Plot, North Burial Ground
WWII Veterans Plot
Veterans Day was once called Armistice Day, enacted to celebrate the day that World War I officially ended at 11 a.m on November 11th, the 11th month of the year 1918. Later the holiday's name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all veterans who served their country.
It is a day to commemorate sacrifice and loss, to thank our Veterans, and to think of the men and women who serve today, especially those in harms way.
