After WWI, President Woodrow Wilson established November 11th as Armistice Day. It was a day to celebrate world peace and was a memorial for those military members who sacrificed their lives in WWI. At the end of WWII, a veteran suggested that the focus of the day be changed to honor all veterans, not just those who gave their lives. However, the change wasn’t made official until 1954, when the “Armistice” was replaced with “Veterans.” Today, November 11th stands to celebrate ALL veterans who are serving or have served. As a military town, Savannah GA could not be any prouder to take up this celebration. We love our military!
