BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) and Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) pay respects to those who have served their country in time of armed conflict – veterans.
This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country’s service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on November 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that concluded World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to “Veterans Day” in order to account for all veterans in all wars.
