\nScene: Walter King, my dad-in-law, was a WWII Army Air Force vet. Veterans Day is an\u00a0official US holiday.\u00a0World War One formally ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.<\/p>\n

In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those from WWI. Weeks led a delegation to General Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the idea.\u00a0Congress amended this act on June 1, 1954, replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans,” and it has been known as Veterans Day since.\u00a0Also to be remembered, Frank Tralongo, my godfather, who was an Army\u00a0veteran in the Korean War, and all others who served. Thank you!<\/p>\n
