Let's Honor Our Veterans

Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, a day to honor our veterans for their service to our country.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1918, to mark the end of World War I. It later became a legal holiday to honor World War I veterans. By 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, the name “Armistice” was replaced with “Veterans” and the holiday expanded to honor American veterans of all wars.

As history unfolds and we face the future, the service and sacrifices of our veterans remains timeless.

Thank you to all the courageous veterans in our Carilion family and community who serve our country. Please leave your comments for our veterans below.
