John, Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1954, it became the day we honor all who have worn our nation’s uniform. |
Today, we pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of our veterans. We enjoy our freedoms today because of the generations of Americans that stood at arms to defend them. To every veteran and military family—thank you. With gratitude, |
