Day honors those seeking lasting peace
2009
Overview
The Missouri Manual of 1919-20 says that 128,000 Missourians served in the Army during the \"war against Germany.\" Another 10,300 represented the United States in the Navy and Marines. At the Great War's conclusion, a couple of decades before the next great war, the Missouri General Assembly appropriated $25,000 to build a war memorial in France. It still stands at Cheppy, a bronze figure upon a stone pedestal, extending a wreath skyward. Veterans Day, which the nation celebrates on Wednesday, grew from hostilities' end in 1918, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. For a seven-year stretch in the 1970s, Congress shoehorned the commemoration into a three-day weekend, a blistering of historical significance. Now, the holiday gets its due, again on Nov. 11.
