介绍： During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called on his countrymen in his famous Gettysburg Address to ensure that liberty "shall not perish from the earth." His words have inspired many over the years, including millions in our nation's armed services who fought to preserve not only America’s freedom, but that of other nations as well.
Today, Veterans Day, America pauses to honor these men and women, and the values of duty and sacrifice they represent. Long after they leave uniform, they symbolize what it means to be a citizen of a free land.

The holiday, observed every year on November 11, originated with the armistice that ended The First World War in 1918. The conflict, fought in Asia, Africa, scattered islands in the Pacific and the waters off South America, as well as on the battlefields of Europe, was seen as "the war to end all wars."

在美国内战期间，亚伯拉罕·林肯总统在他著名的葛底斯堡演说中号召他的同胞们确保自由“不会从地球上消失”。多年来，他的话激励了许多人，包括美国数百万军人，他们不仅为维护美国的自由而战，也为其他国家的自由而战。
今天是退伍军人节，美国举国上下都在缅怀他们，缅怀他们所代表的责任和牺牲的价值。在他们退役很久之后，他们象征着一个自由国度的公民的意义。
每年的11月11日是这个节日，起源于1918年结束第一次世界大战的停战协定。这场冲突发生在亚洲、非洲、太平洋上分散的岛屿、南美洲海域，以及欧洲战场，被视为“结束所有战争的战争”。
