Veterans Day is observed each year on Nov. 11, marking the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918 — the moment that signaled the end of World War I. On this day, we pause to honor all the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces and answered the call to defend our nation. America’s rise to greatness was built on their service, and their stories remain woven into the fabric of our history.
