Veterans Day, which began as Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the end of WWI on November 11, 1918, became a federal holiday in 1938, honoring WWI veterans and celebrating peace. In 1954, after WWII and the Korean War, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to honor all U.S. military veterans, past and present.
Melrose Area Public Schools held a Veterans Day Program today at 10am, which is available on our Livestream: YouTube
