<DIV>ARMISTICE DAY. On November 11, 1918, the Allied powers signed a
cease-<BR>fire agreement with Germany at Rethondes, France, bringing World War
I<BR>to a close. Between the world wars, November 11 was commemorated
as<BR>Armistice Day in the United States, Great Britain, and France.
After<BR>World War II, the holiday was recognized as a day of tribute to
veterans<BR>of both world wars. In 1954 the United States designated November 11
as<BR>Veterans Day to honor veterans of all U.S. wars.<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
