Today is Veterans' Day.
But when I was growing up it was called Armistice Day.
Armistice Day was established November 11, 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson in remembrance of the armistice signed in Compiègne Forest, France at 11:11 on 11/11/1918 which formally ended World War I, The Great War.
Its name was changed June 1, 1954 by President Eisenhower, honoring all military veterans, both active and retired.
I stand proudly along with millions of others as a Veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Yes indeed:
Let Freedom Ring !!

Great History lesson, JIm
