DAY
OF REMEBERANCE
Armistice
Day This Year About Troops Overseas
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Twenty-four years ago today,
hostilities in World War I formally ended. This Armistice Day, we remember the
soldiers and sailors who served in the Great War, but it is also a time to
remember those who are now serving our country overseas in another great
conflict from Europe and North Africa to the South Pacific and Asia. Speaking
in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia , President Roosevelt spoke of “…the future which we begin to see
opening before us—a picture illumined by a new light of hope.” All hope that
next Armistice Day we will be celebrating the defeat of the Axis powers.
