In the 11th hour, on the 11th
day, in the 11th month in 1918, there was an armistice – temporary
cessation between the Allied Nations and Germany during World War I. The
following year, on that same day, Armistice Day was recognized. In 1926 it was
declared that this would be a recurring anniversary to be commemorated every
year. It was made a legal federal holiday in 1938. And in 1954, President
Eisenhower signed the bill to change it from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
For all veterans; from every branch, of
all wars, throughout the years. Thank you for your dedication to ensuring our
freedom. And for that, all of us here at Wolverine Machine, salute you.
