Poem Artwork
-->

At Precisely 11 A.M.

On November 11, 1918

World War I Came To an End

A Momentous Worldwide Scene


But ‘The War To End All Wars’

Was Not The End, For Our Veterans

Since That Most Infamous Day in History

We Have Called Upon Them, Again and Again


And, They Have All Served Our Vast Nation, So Very Valiantly

From Both of the World Wars, to Vietnam, to Iraq and Afghanistan

Today is the Day, Proclaimed by President Eisenhower, back in 1954

To Honor Each and Every One Who Has Served Us, Again and Again


The History Channel produced a very informative video for Veterans Day

They Sponsor Thank A Veteran At Work, and Take A Veteran To School Day

Watch The History Channel’s interesting history lesson, which is linked below

We should all learn, and honor, and pay tribute to, every single veteran, Today




©Veterans Day 2013, Mr. Ed

Top write ole chum. We still appreciate you guys joining us earlier in wwii, than the last minute assistance in wwi. :)

We all know about the treaty of Versailles,(and Hitlers propaganda) yet few recall where we signed the end of wwii.

Bless 'em all! I lost a brave great uncle in wwi and another was jailed twice for refusing orders.

Thank you for sharing the history of Veterans Day. I plan to go out today to a mall and thank and shake the hand of every veteran I see. As for the sad and lonely, I will smile at them and say hello. Who knows when we might be addressing an unsung hero; they all deserve to be honored today and every day.
