Originally established as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, to ". . . honor those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory . . ." following World War 1, today November 11, is is a U.S. federal holiday observed annually on November 11 to honor all military veterans, both living and deceased, who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
World War 1 saw the cessation of fighting a year earlier, on November 11, 1918. It was not until June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, that the war formally came to an end.
The day was recognized as a national holiday in 1926 when Congress called upon " . . . the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples."
In 1954, following World War II, Congress approved legislation proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day, "... to ensure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all Veterans, all Veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose."
We are proud to join the nation in celebrating this special day honoring Veterans both on active service and those of past service.

It's that time of year again! The yellow buses are back on the road this week, and we all need to be extra cautious. Please stay alert for children walking to bus stops, and watch for school buses and their stop signs, as the safety of our children depends on our vigilance. Remember to slow down when approaching a school bus, even if its stop sign isn’t extended— it may come out at any moment. Let's work together to keep our kids safe!
