If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

In Flanders Fields, By John McCrae
Veterans Day, November 11
World War I ended on November 11, 1918. On the same date three years later an unknown soldier (eyewitness account) from that war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. November 11 eventually became the date when America honors all who have served the United States in war.
