Veterans Day is celebrated on the 11th of November for a very specific reason; 11:00 am, Nov. 11, 1918, the Armistice (a formal agreement of warring parties to stop fighting) with Germany went into effect after four years of war. On Friday, November 8th, JHS held its annual Veterans Day assembly. Every year, we take the time to remember the veterans who have served this great nation.
