Biddeford, ME - Veterans Day is here again, giving us all time to pause and recognize the contributions of all those who have served in the armed forces, past and present.
It's a good time to remember that this day was originally called Armistice Day, made a legal holiday in 1938 by the federal government as a way to recognize those who served in World War I. It commemorates Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., when the cessation of hostilities was agreed upon between the Allies and Germany.
The government resolution in 1926 to recognize Armistice Day noted that it "marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals."
