2. Veterans Day 2010
November 11,2010 was Veterans Day, or Armistice
Day, when on the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of
the eleventh month", in 1918, the armistice was signed
for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front at
the end of World War I. The date is now observed by
many of the allied nations from that era as Veterans
Day, Armistice Day, Remembrance Day or Poppy Day -
a day set aside to commemorate the sacrifices made by
those in the armed forces and their families.
