Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I. Here’s why Nov. 11 remains a solemn tribute to sacrifice and service.

Ramstein High School students had the chance to represent the U.S. at several ceremonies in France that commemorated the end of World War I.

My father, Vincent, who was with the Army during WWII, told of how their mess halls in Europe regularly gave out food to the hungry kids that were looking for anything to eat.

That is how Armistice Day (Veterans Day) came to be. It's a day to pray for peace and honor our soldiers who have sacrificed to try and win a lasting peace. That was the great hope of the Armistice, that there would be no more wars.

Veterans Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 11. Here's a list of restaurants and food chains that are offering freebies and discounts to veterans.
