Veterans honored for service during Veterans Day ceremony
- On November 11, Americans observed Veterans Day to honor those who served in the Armed Forces, though President Donald Trump recently proposed renaming it "Victory Day for World War I" to celebrate the nation's "military brilliance."
- Originally declared Armistice Day on November 11, 1918, to mark the end of World War I, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 when President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation to honor all American veterans.
- Many veterans struggle with civilian transitions, prompting the Major Richard Star Act, which includes more than 60 bipartisan bills to expand housing and mental health access through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Montana Department of Labor & Industry Commissioner Sarah Swanson noted the "406 JOBS" initiative supports veteran career transitions through registered apprenticeships, providing paid training pathways that help translate military skills into civilian roles.
- Reflecting on the holiday's original spirit, some advocates argue for preventing future wars rather than glorifying past ones; General Smedley Butler, author of "War Is a Racket," contended the day should remain dedicated to world peace.
