457. Armistice Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the fighting on the Western Front ceased, marking Armistice Day and the end of the Great War, World War one.

Following World War two, the name was changed in many countries to commemorate those who died in both wars and all subsequent conflicts.

This solemn day to honor veterans and remember those who have died in military service is now recognized as Veterans Day in the United States, or Remembrance Day in Commonwealth countries, including Canada.
