Today is Veterans Day, a time to honor all U.S. Military Veterans past and present.  The day traces its roots to the end of World War I when back on November 11th of 1918, an armistice between the U.S.-led Allied Nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Veterans Day is the 9th of 11 Federal Holidays – with only Thanksgiving on November 28th and Christmas on December 25th remaining.
