It was on November 11, 1918, at 11:00 a.m. (the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour) that the armistice or peace treaty went into effect that ended what we now know as World War I - what President Woodrow Wilson termed "the war to end all wars."
Since that time, the commemoration of the day has been broadened as a time for us to honor the many men and women among us who have served in our nation's military.
