History of Veterans Day

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day, is observed annually on September 17. It is a federal observance, but not a holiday.   

Constitution Day commemorates the day when the United States Constitution was formed and signed by 39 delegates of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, on September 17, 1787. The United States Constitution is the oldest in the world and is considered to be one of America's most important documents. It outlines the framework of the government. It protects the rights and freedoms of the people it serves and ensures that future generations will also benefit from this.

Auxiliary Meeting every 3rd Thursday at 6:30


Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday of May. It is a national day of remembrance for honoring all who served in the military and died; whether in combat, line of duty, illness, or wounds seen and unseen. The day offers a chance to reflect on the unique lives of these heroes and their ethos of selfless service.
