Veterans Day: Remember and Honor Those Who Served

November 11 is Veterans Day, a solemn occasion often overlooked by the public and insufficiently marked by the media. On this day in 1918, the Armistice with Germany went into effect, thus concluding the war to end all wars. First known as “Armistice Day,” the holiday has since broadened in scope but has remained true to its original conception of honoring the service of all former military personnel.

Unfortunately, not all veterans have been treated with the respect they’ve earned. Their suffering, from wounds both visible and unseen, has often been forgotten.
