Today, November 11 is Veterans Day.
According to History.com:
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or
temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations
and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.”
Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th
became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath
of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a
holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars…

In 2018 a standing room only ceremony was held on Veterans Day to thank

and honor

local residents who were veterans.
Here’s today’s National Veteran’s Day Observance Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Thank you for your service to the members of United States military.
Many Americans appreciate veterans, but they dont understand us. I have been holding Veterans Town Halls since 2015 to give veterans the opportunity to share their experiences with the community and bridge that divide. The results have been powerful.
