Honor our Heroes!Please come honor our hometown heroes on Veteran's Day. Why do we celebrate this day? In 1919, President Wilson designated Nov 11th, the day of the armistice between the allies and Germany, as “Armistice Day” to commemorate the veterans of The Great War, later called World War I. In 1929, Congress declared Armistice Day a legal holiday, and in 1954, changed the name to Veteran’s Day to honor all veterans who have served our nation.
