Paper Parrot(@paperparrot_):Today is Veterans Day. It began as Armistice Day, marking the end of major World War I fighting at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918. On this day in 1921, an unidentified American soldier from that war was buried at Arlington's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Guards have watched over it around the clock since 1937.
