Military veterans to be honored throughout St. Tammany

America's military veterans will be honored throughout St. Tammany Parish with a variety of events planned around Veterans Day, which always falls on Nov. 11. The holiday originated as Armistice Day, proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 to mark the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I, which ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 following World War II and the Korean War when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing the name to honor American veterans of all wars.

The story starts in 1880, when Bayou Sarah entrepreneur Morris Wolf built an elegant Victorian home for his wife and children. The Wolfs stayed until 1903. Decades later the house was carved into apartments, then sat empty long enough to lose its mantles, light fixtures and most of its doors.
