Service members across Okinawa observe Veterans Day

Pararescuemen from the 31st Rescue Squadron propel from a U.S. Air Force HH-60 Pave Hawk to present the American flag during the Veterans Day ceremony at the 18th Wing Headquarters building on Kadena Air Base, Japan, Nov. 12, 2012. President Woodrow Wilson first commemorated Nov. 11 as Armistice Day in 1919 to honor the veterans of World War I. The day was later changed to Veterans Day in 1954 by President Dwight Eisenhower to honor all veterans from all U.S. conflicts. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Hailey R. Davis)
