This Veterans Day, Honor Service & Sacrifice at These Memorials

Communities around the nation will salute our nation’s veterans this week, just as they have done every Nov. 11 since the first anniversary of the end of World War I in 1919—though the holiday was then known as Armistice Day, as it still is in other parts of the world. Wherever your group finds itself on Veterans Day, they are likely to find a fitting way to pay tribute to those who served and those who paid the ultimate price. One of the nation’s marquee tributes takes place at Virginia’s Arlington National Cemetery, with a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a parade of colors from veterans organizations, and, traditionally, a speech from the president or vice president.
