POLITICO MAFIOSO: POLITICO MAFIOSO - 'THE WEEK IN REVIEW'

Today is Veterans Day!

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday honoring armed service veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11th. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.

^{U.S. President}^{Woodrow Wilson}^{first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the
holiday, he said}

^{"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be
filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's
service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which
it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her
sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the
nations."}
