Seadrift School’s Annual Veterans Day Program

All Veterans are invited to have lunch after the program.

Veterans Day marks the signing of the armistice that ended WWI on November 11, 1918. In the years following, many people observed November 11 as a special day. However, it was not until 1938 that Congress passed a bill that each November 11 “shall be dedicated to the cause of world peace and…hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day.” In 1954 Congress changed the name to Veterans Day to recognize veterans of all America’s wars. Today we observe November 11 as a day to honor all those who are serving or have served in the military.
