Armistice Day 

Armistice Day is observed on November 11 each year to commemorate the end of World War I at war memorials at towns and villages throughout Europe and the US. It marks the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany at 5:45 AM on November 11, 1918, which took effect at 11:00 AM—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month". Initially celebrated as Armistice Day, it is now known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, honoring all military veterans. The day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and is a time for reflection and remembrance.
