Sanders County veterans took part in several activities during this year's Veterans Day ceremonies honoring their service and sacrifice.
Veterans Day started off with a graveside service honor guard carrying flags representing each military branch. The ceremony started at exactly 11 a.m.
That exact time has a special meaning, going back to Nov. 11, 1918. The allied nations and Germany signed an armistice, ending the fighting in World War I. The armistice went into effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
