[Publib] Veterans Day Reference Question

[Kevin Kocur - Natrona County]

Not sure if it's in there.  Check To the Flag  by Richard Ellis.  He might 
have something to say about it.

Subject: [Publib] Veterans Day Reference Question




I'm appealing to your great wisdom!  A patron wants to

know when the practice of standing up and facing east

on Armistice Day (now known as Veterans Day) ceased. 

I've to the Department of Veterans Affairs website,

but I'm unable to find anything.  According to the

info that I found in several sources, Armistice Day

became much less important when World War II broke

out.  I'm assuming the practice may have stopped then.

 Does anybody have any additional info they can share?



As always, THANK YOU!
