At 11 a.m. Wednesday, Middle Tennessee veterans, veterans organizations and spectators gathered in the heart of Nashville’s tourist district for a parade recognizing the Veterans Day holiday.

The federal holiday was created at the end of World War I and was called “Armistice Day” until its renaming in 1954. Ceremonies, including Nashville’s parade, typically commence at 11 a.m. to honor of the World War 1 cessation of hostilities that went into effect at that time on Nov. 11, 1928.
