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)🧵

This Veterans Day, we honor those who served and sacrificed for our country. The freedoms we inherited came at a cost. Honoring that sacrifice means preserving those freedoms while strengthening what we leave for future generations. Through unity, understanding, and civic participation, we can continue building a future worthy of their service. 🇺🇸🆙📡🗽
