November 11, 201015 yr Member Please proudly display your flag. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. Who here served in the military or had someone close to you that did serve? My grandfather served during World War I, my father during World War II, and my husband during the Viet Nam War. Tonight at our weekley square dance, our club is honoring all the veterans in a special ceremony.
