Below are their stories, from their time in the armed services to their current careers.
How And When Did We Start Celebrating Veterans Day ?
During World War I, a temporary cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany took place on November 11, 1918. The one-year anniversary of that event became known as Armistice Day. Eight years after the ceasefire Congress passed a resolution to make Veterans Day an annual occurrence, and in 1938 it became a federal holiday.
