Program Closed – Veteran's Day

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, honors the service and sacrifice of military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The significance of this day lies in its roots, tracing back to the end of World War I, when the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was established to commemorate the soldiers who fought in the Great War. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to honor all American veterans. This day serves not only as a tribute to those who have served but also as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to support veterans and their families in their post-service lives.
