关于退伍军人节 世界 War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. 然而，当盟军和德国在11月11日的第11个小时签订停战协议或暂时停止敌对行动时，战斗在7个月前就停止了。 For that reason, 11月ember 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” 1919年11月，威尔逊总统宣布11月11日为第一个停战纪念日，并发表了以下讲话： “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. -U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs
