The Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month

This, of course, marks the armistice reached at the end of fighting on the Western front during World War I. The United States adopted this 11th day of November as Armistice Day, and, later, Veterans Day.

Today we celebrate veterans, living and deceased, who served our country with honor, valor and courage. Because of the sacrifices these men and women have made, our country has prospered. Let us never forget it.
