BY METRO NEWS SERVICE Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Veterans Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In the United States, people honor their present and past military on Veterans Day. ARMISTICE DAY ORIGINS Veterans Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in WHAT ABOUT THE POPPIES? One of the unifying symbols of Veterans Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband s medals. Veterans Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers efforts to secure freedom.
