"World War I ended on November 11, 1918, when an armistice with Germany was signed, creating an immediate ceasefire. The 'War to End All Wars' ended on that day and it began a new chapter in Europe, hoping that peace would prevail. . . .
"What's interesting is how Veterans Day, a day dedicated to soldiers, falls each year (unless it falls on a Saturday or Sunday) on the day in the Church's calendar honoring St. Martin, patron saint of soldiers."
In a recent commentary, writer Philip Kosloski reflected on Saint Martin of Tours, the initiation of Veterans Day (originally Armistice Day), and their connection.
