Veterans Day
History
On November 11, 1921, an
unidentified American soldier
killed in the war was buried at
Arlington National Cemetery in
Washington, D.C. It is called the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
An official wreath-laying
ceremony is held each Veterans'
Day at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington National
Cemetery. Usually the president,
or another high-ranking
government official, lays the
wreath on the grave.

Newspapers would rerun the exploits

of Sgt. Alvin York, the humble
mountain boy from Tennessee who
shot Germans as easily as he shot
wild turkeys back home and who in
one remarkable day in the Argonne
Forest, captured 132 of the Kaisers
men singlehandedly. The pictorial
magazines reran their photos of the
first flying aces, the daring men of
the Lafayette Escadrille, who flew
into the skies in paper-wrapped
airplanes to battle the Red Baron.
