- Program will begin at 9 am, Saturday, Nov. 11

Veterans Day began as a commemoration of the end of World War I. Fighting ceased when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” The observance of Veterans Day not only preserves the historical significance of the date but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day. A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
