World War Veterans on Radio.
When Edna wrote this journal entry in 1936, Hitler was the chancellor of Germany but the second World War was still about three years away.
Armistice Day recognized the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, which signaled the end of World War I. In 1954, Congress passed a bill signed by President Eisenhower proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day, commemorating veterans of all wars.
Remembering with gratitude, the brave men, and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
