Veterans Day Celebration
World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany came into effect. For that reason, November 11, 1918 is generally regarded as the end of the “war to end all wars”.
