Veteran’s Day Commemoration
Veteran’s Day Commemoration is held every year Concordia to honor the veterans interred on our historic grounds. Originated as “Armistice Day” on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I, Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
