Veterans Day

About the event
Veterans Day is observed across Womelsdorf Borough on Wednesday, November 11, a federal holiday set aside to honor everyone who has served in the United States armed forces. Borough offices follow the holiday schedule, and residents are encouraged to take a moment to recognize the veterans among their neighbors, coworkers, and family.
The date carries its own history. The fighting of World War I came to a close at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, and the anniversary was first marked as Armistice Day before being renamed Veterans Day in 1954. Several other countries observe holidays on the same date for the same reason.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day. Memorial Day remembers those who died in military service, while Veterans Day recognizes the service of all who wore the uniform, living and past. If you cross paths with a veteran on the eleventh, a word of thanks goes a long way.
Hosted by Womelsdorf Borough on BerksConnect.
