millions of veterans living and dead

and
WHEREAS, the Congress passed
concurrent resolution on June 4,

November IL with appropriate GER
emOnies, and later provided in an
Act approved May 13, 1888, that
the eleventh of November should be
a legal holiday and should be known
as Armistice Day; and
WHEREAS in order to expand
the significance of that commemor-
alton and in order that a grateful
