Veterans Day @ Physical Plant
ABOUT VETERANS DAY @ PHYSICAL PLANT
Veterans Day honors all members of the Armed Forces, living or deceased. It is important for us to remember what they did in service to our great country, the values we stand for and our way of life. This holiday originally was called Armistice Day and was first celebrated in 1921. In 1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veterans Day in honor of those who served an died from all wars.
On November 11 at 11:11, 1921 the U.S. France and England each buried an unknown soldier in honor of those who died in World War I. This began the annual Armistice Day holiday. The time and day was picked because fighting ceased in WWI in 1918 on November 11 at 11:11. In keeping with this tradition, work stops on this day and time each year for a moment of silence.
