Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, commemorates the end of World War I. The date, November 11th, holds special significance as it marks the moment the fighting ceased—at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
Each year, Arlington National Cemetery hosts a solemn ceremony to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. This annual service takes place at 11 a.m. on November 11th, where a wreath is laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Arlington is the final resting place for over 400,000 military personnel and their families, serving as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served our country.
At WLC, we deeply recognize the importance of Veterans Day. We honor and celebrate our residents who have bravely served, offering our heartfelt thanks for their dedication and sacrifice.
