This Monday, as we observe Veterans Day, we are reminded not only of the sacrifice made by millions of men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, but also of the importance of recognizing the veterans in our own communities. Veterans Day, which was first celebrated as Armistice Day in 1919, marks the end of World War I—the "war to end all wars"—when hostilities ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Though the holiday has evolved over time to honor all U.S. military veterans, the essence of its observance remains rooted in gratitude and remembrance.
