On this day World War I officially ended, November 11 is known as Armistice Day marking the end of the war and honoring those who fought and died in its service.
Since WWII, November 11 is the date used to celebrate Veterans Day and honor all of those those who fought for and died in, service to their country.
So while you;re out shopping at the big Veterans Day blow out sales at the mall, remember why you have the day off and be grateful for a moment that your day will not include mustard gas or fox holes.
