At 11:00 a.m. on Veterans Day, a moment of silence is observed to honor the veterans who served in the U.S. military over the course of the nation’s history . This time is significant because it marks the end of fighting in World War I in 1918. The cessation of hostilities actually took place on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, in 1918. Nov. 11, 1918, is regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars”
