Stratford Crier Highlights Veterans Day History and Local Museum's Role

Stratford Crier Highlights Veterans Day History and Local Museum's Role

The Stratford Crier has published an article detailing the history of Veterans Day, tracing its origins from Armistice Day, which commemorated the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed November 11th as Armistice Day in 1919. Following America's involvement in World War II and the Korean War, the name was officially changed to Veterans Day on June 1, 1954, to honor all who have served in the U.S. armed forces. The article also encourages readers to visit the Veterans Museum in Boothe Memorial Park, located at 5952 Main Street, Stratford. The museum aims to educate schoolchildren about Stratford's military history and welcomes veterans and their families to share their stories and donate or loan service-related items.
