Every year nearly 44 Veterans take their own lives, according to the America’s Warrior Partnership (AWP). In light of Veterans Day, there are many ways to support local Veterans; this Veteran’s Day was created after World War I ended – when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, according to department.va.gov.
