And before you know it, we are preparing for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years celebrations. But during the month of November there is another holiday all of us should remember. November 11, Veterans Day. November 11 is the designated day as it commemorates the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 a.m., ending World War I. It was known as Armistice Day until after World War II when it was changed to Veterans Day. Since becoming a national holiday in the 1950’s, com- munities, cities, and the Nations capital have found many ways to honor those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces. Eagleville School has an assembly pro- gram for faculty and students. Community folks also attend each year. Eagleville Times has a commitment to honoring these heroes as well. Since its fi rst year of publication, the Times has dedicated the November issue to our Veterans. This year we are glad to publish the over 200 photos submitted. Dur- ing November and throughout the year, remember to thank those who serve our country in the armed forces and honor the memory of all those who have served. INSIDE THIS ISSUE PRSRT STD.
