National Veterans and Military Families Month - November 2018

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI. This year, Veterans Affairs facilities in communities all across America take time to offer a special recognition of the significance of the U.S. participation in the ‘war to end all wars’. For 99 of the past 100 years, Americans have remembered those who served our country in uniform on 11 November in the Great War – first as Armistice Day, and then, since 1954 as Veterans Day. As first declared by the President last year, this year November again marks a month of recognizing our Veterans and their families in service to our country and communities. Please check the calendar below for examples of events, as well as local community calendars for services in your area.
