Major hostilities of World War I formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the\u00a0Armistice with Germany\u00a0went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Veteran\u2019s Day to our service members, both past and present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year the plow was auctioned off to Gene S. from Leesport, PA.
