Veterans Day
Veterans Day first began in 1918 as a commemoration of
the end of World War I. “The Great War” came to a close on the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month, when an armistice went into effect
between the Allied nations and Germany.
In the ensuing decades, as American soldiers continued to
be deployed overseas, November 11 became a day to pay tribute to American
veterans of all wars for their patriotism, courage, and sacrifice.
This Veterans Day, we offer a prayer known for centuries
to those who have ever found themselves in harm’s way. Click here to visit our
