Each year, we recognize our Veterans on November 11th, the day that World War I ended in 1918. Today, there are over 19 million Veterans in the United States. We all have a family member, friend, neighbor, or host parent who has served or is currently serving in the military.<\/p>\n

Washington, DC will hold many ceremonies to honor veterans. Arlington National Cemetery <\/a>has scheduled a patriotic ceremony honoring America\u2019s military members and Veterans for Saturday, November 11, 2017, at 11 a.m. A wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, followed by a ceremony inside the Memorial Amphitheater, adjacent to the Tomb. The event will commence with a prelude concert by The United States Navy Band at 10:30 a.m., inside the amphitheater. This is a popular event, so advance planning is recommended.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Other ceremonies will take place at the Vietnam Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the National Cathedral.<\/p>\n
