Veterans Day-Armistice Day-Remembrance Day
This
is Armistice Day or Remembrance Day or Veterans Day or Victory Day or
World War I Memorial Day. The name of this special day may be different
in different places throughout many nations; but its significance is the
same.
It was on this day at 11 a.m. in 1918 that World War I
ceased. The Allied and Central Powers signed an armistice agreement at 5
a.m. in Marshal Foch’s railway car in the Forest of Compiegne, France.
Many still bow their heads in remembrance at the 11th hour of this the 11th day of the 11th month.
