Veteran's Day, what does it mean? Originally it was called Armistice Day, in commemoration of the end of World War I. Later, after World War II and the Korean War, “armistice” was changed to “veterans” so the day would honor American veterans of all wars.

As a local USO volunteer, I was at the airport to assist a large group of wounded, ill or injured service members leave on a trip to Las Vegas hosted by American Airlines, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the local USO. Additionally, one of my recurring USO shifts in the lounge at Reagan National Airport fell on Veterans Day. Read More
