A Day 'To Perpetuate Peace'

This year, Veterans' Day, Nov. 11, falls on a Sunday, so it will be observed on Monday. This holiday started life as Armistice Day, and the resolution that created it declared that the date "should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations": http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp
