In 1918, the last gun fired its last shot on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, at 11 a.m. After four years of brutal trench warfare, incredible bloodshed, and relentless deafening sounds of machine gun fire and shelling, silence — silence had finally filled the sky and covered the dead, our dead.
Since that last shot was fired on November 11, Armistice Day, now known as our Veterans Day, we have given our most profound gratitude and respect to all who have ever worn our nation’s uniform. On Veterans Day, we honor those who have sacrificed everything for us, our country, and for what America stands for.
