Ridgewood NJ, How disrespectful. An elected official, introduced by the Master of Ceremonies as an “honored guest,” sitting on the dais snapping photos during a solemn ceremony honoring veterans of war. No one else on the dais had either a camera or a cell phone in hand during the entire ceremony. What a moron. How did he ever get elected?

Ridgewood NJ, Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.
