THANK YOU to all who have served!
Veterans Day, or Armistice Day, was founded in honor
of the cessation of hostilities between the Allied forces
and Germany in World War I. The fighting ended on the
eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month. For that reason, we honor our veterans on
November 11th.
#WaterfordCares #WUSD
