On this Veteran’s Day, Code Pink Women for Peace gives us the resolution made in 1926 by Congress that recognized the end of World War I:

“Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed...

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.”

Additional to some ideas they offer on how to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday, there’s a good article with talking points on how to take action, “How to Support Our Troops on Veteran’s Day.”
