Waxhaw's Veterans Day Ceremony will be held at the Military Wall of Honor in downtown Waxhaw at 11 a.m. Wednesday, November 11.
This event is free and open to the public.
Veterans Day, observed on November 11th each year, is a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I. Commemorated in many countries as Armistice Day, November 11th became a federal holiday in the U.S. in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.
