Modoc County Celebrates Veterans Day Monday is a special day for veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day, a nationally recognized holiday, celebrates veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. For some, it’s a moment of reflection on loved ones who have served and passed. For others, it’s a day that recognizes living veterans who risked everything to fight. Above all else, the day is observed as acknowledgement of veterans’ — both living and those who have passed — contributions and sacrifice, courage and valor, strength and dedication. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first Armistice Day, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs website, with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” After World War II
required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the nation’s history, the 83rd Congress amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval legislation on June 1, 1954, Veterans Day on Nov. 11 became the day to honor American veterans of all wars, the Veteran Affairs website stated. Locally, the Modoc County community is invited to celebrate Veterans Day on Monday with a number of activities planned in Alturas and Surprise Valley. Alturas Starting the day early, American Legion Post 163 in Alturas is hosting a pancake breakfast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Hall, 508 S. Main Street.

After the parade, a ceremony honoring veterans will be held at
