A Day to Honor, Remember Service of Veterans
Veterans, now educators at El Dorado, reflect on time in military service
Nov. 11 marks the anniversary of the end of fighting in World War I. The armistice that effectively ended “The Great War” began at the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month. In 1954, Congress declared that all military veterans would be honored on this day.
Veteran’s Day is a time to honor and remember those who have served this nation. Today, we honor El Dorado teachers and faculty members who have served this country by sharing their experiences and the importance of Veteran’s Day.
