Nov. 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. That date was declared Armistice Day and, under President Eisenhower, the name of the holiday was later changed to Veterans Day.
On this Veterans Day, we remember “the war to end all wars” and its impact in Maine.
Guests
Earle Shettleworth, longtime Maine state historian
Capt. Jonathan Bratten, command historian, Maine Army National Guard
