On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, an armistice took effect to end more than 4 years of conflict in what was commonly known as "the war to end all wars" or World War I.

Today, there are 17.9 million Veterans in the United States, 119, 550 of which served during World War II.
Let us find inspiration in their incredible service and unwavering dedication to the defense of this country. A special thank you to each and every Veteran for your extraordinary commitment. Your example of strength and unity across faith, color, and creed is a guiding light for us all! Happy Veterans Day!
