One hundred years ago, on November 11, 1918, after four years and millions of lives lost, an armistice between Germany and the Allies was enacted. This important first step to bringing an end to World War I is currently celebrated as Veterans Day, a day to honor all veterans. The armistice centennial offers a chance to look back on Mainers contributions from the war zone to the home front. Join the Maine State Museum, Maine State Library, and the Maine State Archives on Sunday, November 11 from 11:00AM to 2:30PM for a free event that looks back at this important time in our history and acknowledges the debt we owe to our veterans.
