One year after the fighting ended, America observed its first Armistice Day on November 11, 1919. The day became a national holiday in 1938. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower renamed it Veterans Day to honor all Americans who served in the military.

When America entered WWI in 1917, the U.S. Army had just 133,000 active-duty Soldiers. By the war's end, more than 3.6 million joined the ranks. Bringing them home would become the largest demobilization effort in American history up to that point.

On November 11, 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. For nearly 2 million American Soldiers still in France, the fighting was finally over. But their journey home would help shape a tradition that continues more than a century later: Veterans Day. (1/6)🧵

The maneuver combines traditional belly-to-earth formation skydiving with vertical free fall, as some parachutists transition into head-down positions beneath the formation. The complex maneuver highlights the team's precision, coordination and advanced free fall capabilities. 📽️Staff Sgt. Nick Orozco
